”When I finished my school, I was struggling to get a job in Kakuma. The opportunities are very limited, and it was very difficult to purchase food at home, so we were only able to get one meal a day,” says Rahma Napeyok, one of the students of Creative Kakuma. Despite the difficult employment challenges, Rahma is now gaining valuable skills and hope for a better future through the training provided by Creative Kakuma. This initiative is a beacon of hope, empowering the youth to overcome obstacles and build a better life.

Creative Kakuma promotes digital inclusion and literacy, providing refugees with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely and effectively. This literacy is essential for protecting themselves online and fully leveraging available opportunities. The impact of digital inclusion extends beyond the individual; as refugees become more digitally literate and economically empowered, they can influence the development and resilience of their communities. This collective growth fosters a culture of learning and self-reliance, reducing dependency on external aid.

Many young people who cannot secure stable employment due to their difficult life circumstances refer to odd jobs as ”hustling”. These unstable life situations can make many young people’s lives feel unstable, insecure, and difficult to envision their own dreams for the future. In unstable life situations, young people often encounter violence, exploitation, and crime in their efforts to earn a living. The fact that many have to experience daily survival struggles and chronic uncertainty can lead to more serious mental health issues and find it hard to clearly see their own dreams through their difficult life circumstances.

Join us in empowering young people to navigate uncertainty and pursue their dreams despite challenges.

The uncertainties of life and limited opportunities prompt young people to continually explore new avenues for earning a livelihood. This can entail activities such as collecting recyclables, repairing bicycles, crafting jewelry, or offering tailoring services.

While hustling in Kakuma is marked by strength and resilience, it also comes with risks and challenges. Creative Kakuma seeks to redefine hustling as a pathway to sustainable and secure opportunities, demonstrating that it doesn’t have to be solely a struggle for survival, but rather a journey toward success and fulfillment.

Our graduates have always had fantastic ideas 👏🏾 👏🏾, but knowing where to begin or how to execute those ideas can be a daunting task.

💭Creativity often involves having great ideas but can sometimes be overwhelming when it comes to figuring out where to start or how to bring those ideas to life. It's a process that involves navigating through uncertainty, seeking guidance, and acquiring the necessary skills and resources to turn those ideas into reality.

Young refugees are eager to shape their own futures🧑🏾‍🎓. Despite challenges like displacement and limited opportunities, they want to take control of their destinies and be more self-reliant.

😓However, compared to other youth in the country, they still largely encounter barriers and unequal access to resources.

In response to these challenges, we at Creative Gateway are working tirelessly to provide young refugees with the support and resources they need to overcome these barriers🔌.

⚡By addressing these obstacles head-on, we aim to level the playing field and ensure that all young refugees have equal opportunities to pursue their aspirations and build a brighter future for themselves.
