A Milestone Moment for Refugee Women in Dadaab

Sabrin Darkenely Women Group in IFO2, Dadaab refugee camp marked a powerful step forward.

CARE Kenya's Country Director, Getrude Misango, officially handed over 3 Water ATMs and 1 Reverse Osmosis water purification to Sabrin Darkenely Women Group in IFO2, Dadaab refugee camp undertaking women water entrepreneurship under "From Camp to Green Cities program's.

These Water ATMs, paired with the water purifier, will serve 10,000 households; translating to bringing clean, purified drinking water to approximately 80,000 refugees and host community households, IFO2 being an integrated camp with both refugees and host communities.

But this is more than infrastructure; it is a statement that refugee women are capable entrepreneurs, leaders, and drivers of change.

The handover was witnessed by the CARE Kenya Dadaab team and key stakeholders such as the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency Kenya and County Government representatives, who applauded the initiative and called on CARE Kenya to upscale such opportunities to more women across the camps.

The ‘From Camps to Green Cities Program’, generously supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, is piloting refugee- led innovative financing model in water, food, and energy.

The program will help position CARE Kenya as one of the organizations supporting the national government in realising the Shirika plan that aims to transform Dadaab from just a camp into a thriving, self-reliant urban community.

CARE Kenya accompanied by other key stakeholders visited GALDO,a refugee youth led enterprise committed to promoting sustainable development and resilience among refugees and host communities.

They are turning waste into opportunities.

GALDO in partnership with CARE Kenya under the 'From Camps to Green Cities' program with fund support from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark is doing something different in Dadaab: Solid waste management (collecting, segregating and bailing plastic bottles) for sale to recycling companies in Nairobi. They also craft unique materials like keyholders and pen holders from bones collected as trash.

Every product tells a story of a cleaner environment and dignified self-reliance as it creates job opportunities for refugees’ mothers and youth who collect used plastic bottles from the environment and sell them to GALDO.

This visit is part of CARE Kenya ‘From Camps to Green Cities’ program, which is positioning CARE Kenya as one of the organizations supporting the Government of Kenya's in realization of Shirika Plan which is a bold initiative to transform Dadaab refugee camp into a thriving city.

We believe refugee-hosting communities are not just places of need, but hubs of innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable enterprise.

What does true independence look like for a young girl in Kenya?

It looks like a savings group that believes in her. It looks like her first loan and her first business. It looks like making decisions about her own health, on her own terms.

CARE Kenya through the SHE SOARS program supported by Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada, through the Youth Savings and Loaning Associations (YSLAs) is helping out-of-school adolescents build financial literacy, save money, and access credit bridging the gap between vulnerability and self-reliance.

When young people are economically empowered, everything changes: their health, their safety, their future.

We are not just teaching adolescents to survive. We are equipping them to lead.
