This , we celebrate the young people of Kakuma and Kalobeyei who continue to show us what is possible when talent meets opportunity.

At RAI, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, earn, lead, and build a future with dignity.

Their backgrounds may be different. Their journeys may be different. But their aspirations are shared: opportunity, decent, work, inclusion, dignity, and a better future.

Happy International Youth Day!

đź’™ Meet Scinderella.

After completing our Business Program, Scinderella took a small first step toward her dream of becoming an entrepreneur. She started her clothing business in Kalobeyei with just one box of sandals.

Today, her business has grown. She now sells dresses, sandals, and other trendy clothing, earning an income while supporting her family.

Her story is a reminder that a business doesn’t have to start big. Sometimes, it starts with one small step, the courage to begin, and the determination to keep growing.

📍 In Kalobeyei? Visit Scinderella’s shop and support a hardworking local entrepreneur.

The digital economy is creating new opportunities for young people in Kakuma, but many are still looking for where to start.

Thousands of talented young people have the skills to work online. A graphic designer, virtual assistant, writer, programmer, video editor, or social media manager could be just one opportunity away from earning an income and transforming their life.

In the comments, tag or mention legitimate online work platforms, freelancing websites, remote job boards, digital learning platforms, or organizations connecting young people to online jobs.

Your recommendation could help someone take their first step into the digital economy.

🗓️The countdown to is on!

This 12 August, we join the global community in celebrating the power, resilience, and leadership of young people.

At RAI, we believe that when young people are equipped with the right skills, opportunities, and support, they become powerful drivers of positive change. Every day, refugee and host community youth are leading businesses, pursuing education, advocating for their rights, and building stronger, more resilient communities.

As we count down to Youth Day, let’s celebrate the ideas, innovation, and determination of young people, and renew our commitment to creating spaces where they can learn, lead, and thrive.
