Edoovillage #3107 - Kenya, Kakuma: Digital Skills for Self-Reliance: Computer Training and Online Work for Refugees

This project was born from lived experience and daily interaction with refugees who are eager to learn, work, and rebuild their lives but are limited by lack of access to technology. In Kalobeyei Settlement Refugee Camp, many young people finish school with hope but no tools to move forward. A computer, which is common elsewhere, is often unreachable here. This project aims to empower refugee youths through computer skills training from basic to advanced levels. Many refugees have motivation and talent but lack access to computers and structured learning. Through Hope of the Hopeless, we plan to provide digital literacy, office software skills, internet use, online safety, freelancing basics, and remote work preparation. After training, participants will be guided on how to access online job platforms and income opportunities. The goal is to reduce dependency on aid and support refugees to become self-reliant, confident, and economically active using technology.
