The Kakuma Project works alongside Turkana Needy Children's Home to bring education, daily meals, and lasting hope to orphans, vulnerable children, and street-connected youth in northwest Kenya.
What began as a small grassroots effort is now growing into a sustainable, long-term mission — bringing hope to children and communities in Kakuma, Kenya.
Kakuma is home to thousands of vulnerable children, many without access to consistent education, safe learning environments, or daily meals. We believe education is one of the most powerful pathways to lasting change.
