We have some massive news to share! 🎉 Youth Voices Community has officially been selected for the UNHCR Refugee-Led Innovation Fund! 🌍✨
This recognition means the world to us, and it proves that the best solutions come straight from the community.
As the Plan moves forward in Kenya, we believe that true self-reliance starts with economic inclusion, giving people access to business opportunities, skills, and financial tools.
Say hello to CHAMASMART! 👋📱
With this support, we are building the CHAMASMART App. It’s a digital platform built to help traditional savings groups go completely paperless! No more messy paperwork; just pure transparency, better financial tracking, and real-time group updates right at their fingertips.
Huge shoutout to UNHCR Innovation for supporting the 2026 Refugee-Led Innovation Fund cohort. We are ready to build, innovate, and create lasting impact

Education delayed is education denied 💔

Refugees in Kakuma are speaking out about the severe delays in receiving their crucial travel documents. Without these papers, dreams are being put on hold, leaving many unable to access vital educational support or honor opportunities to travel abroad.

Behind every statistic is a human story, a career paused, and a future waiting on paperwork. It’s time for these barriers to be addressed. 👇🏽

🗣️ “Because we interact with them every day, we must be their voice.”

Over the past two days, the YVC team attended a powerful forum hosted by and to dive deep into Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) and how they can serve refugee populations.
For the 842,000+ refugees in Kenya, the formal legal system can feel completely out of reach due to heavy court backlogs, language barriers, and documentation hurdles. Worse still, many choose to suffer in silence out of fear of arrest or deportation.
At YVC, our staff works side-by-side with refugees every day, and because some of our own team members belong to these communities, this mission is deeply personal. We brought these raw, everyday challenges into the panel discussions to ensure policy isn’t just written for paper, but for real people.

Alternative Justice Systems offer a massive opportunity to clear court backlogs and provide accessible, safe, and community-led dispute resolutions. We’re excited to step up as AJS champions to help build a framework where justice is a reality for everyone, no matter where they come from. 🌍⚖️

Every new word learned is a step toward confidence, connection, and opportunity. 📚✨
Our English Literature class is more than lessons, it’s a space where refugee youth find their voice, one sentence at a time. We’re proud of the progress being made every day. ❤️

The Math of Mastery: Turning Stitches into Savings 📈

Impact isn't always visible in the final garment; sometimes, it’s found in the ledger.

Through the 'Her Hand, Our Future' project, our participants learned the 'Math of Mastery':
🧵 The Stitch: Improving garment quality to increase market value.
🏦 The Save: Using chamas (savings groups) to build a financial cushion.
⚖️ The Balance: Keeping business and personal funds strictly separate.

We are seeing a direct correlation between business skills training and long-term self-reliance. This is the YVC model in action.
