About Program
The Pre-school, established at the outset of 2018, was born from the necessity to address the challenges faced by vulnerable families with young children. These families often had to leave their children unattended while they attended to daily duties, which posed significant risks in the precarious environment of Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya.
In response, we have created a multifaceted “community hub” that serves a range of critical functions:
Providing early childhood education aligned with the Kenyan National curriculum.
-Offering essential daily meals for young children.
-Furnishing a secure and nurturing environment for the little ones.
-Creating employment opportunities for staff.
-Teaching vital life skills (e.g., COVID safety and gardening) that can be applied at home and shared with families.
