your support matters
Our donors and supporters are what allow us to provide these educational opportunities to students in Kakuma Refugee camp. Every dollar is tax deductible, and goes towards helping a refugee student's dream of accessing higher education.
Here are the Recommended Levels of Donation, to help make an immediate impact!
$100 - Monthly Personal Internet Bundles
Camp officials impose a 6 pm curfew - in order to complete homework in the evening students must purchase internet access through their phones.
$500 - Visa & SEVIS Fee for 1 Student
$750 - 1 Month of School-Hour Meals for 12 Students and 2 staff
Food rations for refugees from NGOs are never sufficient - we provide meals so our students don't go hungry during the school day
$1,200 - Kindles for 12 students
There is no library at all in Kakuma. We want our student to have access to a variety of reading materials
$1,500 - Two (2) Laptops for Students
Laptops are essential for students to do their work in our center and at home. Few have ever touched a laptop before, much less owned one.
$1,700 - Flight from Kakuma Camp to the US
Students often receive their visas to the US only days before they must report to class - last minute flights are expensive
$2,400 - One year salary for our Facilitator in Kakuma
Other than a security guard, our only paid employee is Kiza, a refugee in Kakuma, who ensures that classes run smoothly.
$5,000 Travel and housing for in-person teaching: $5,000
In-person classes will better prepare students for the US college experience. Our volunteers are ready to go to Kakuma but need support
$9,000 - One year of meals for 12 Students and 2 staff
$10,000 - Upgrading the center
$25,000 - Visa fees and flights for the third cohort of students
As we look ahead, we are confident that our 2023-24 students will proceed to university. We want to make sure that we have the funds to get them started in the next chapters of their lives.
