Our History
Education is a key element in the lives of young men and women globally. In situations of
emergency, access to quality education faces various challenges due to limited opportunities and partly due to gaps in information dissemination. Youth Voices of Kakuma (YVK) partnered with Michelle Bellino and the findings of the KYRG to address gaps in regards to information on available opportunities for learning, training, and other life skills.
Our Vision
- Becoming a communication bridge between learners and service providers
- Supporting young people as they set goals and seek opportunities
- Documenting stories and amplifying the voices of Kakuma youth
- Being a reliable and trustworthy source of information between refugees and service providers
