About the Camp:

Kakuma was established in 1992 and is in northwestern Kenya. This refugee camp aims to improve the socio-economic conditions of refugees and host communities through an integrated service delivery approach.

The increasing refugee population from South Sudan to Kakuma has overstretched available resources and capacities, including those for education.

UNA and USA for UNHCR seek support to build new schools and training facilities for the youth.
