El proyecto

The Skills 4 Life Project aimed to strengthen the income-generating capabilities of youth aged between 16 and 25 years by enhancing their access to technical skills training, financial, life and literacy skills for improved livelihoods. It targeted both members of the host community and refugees living in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement located in Turkana County in the North-Western region of Kenya.

The project was implemented in partnership with local community-based organizations working in both the refugee and host communities. These organizations were provided with short-term technical and financial support to deliver various aspects of the project.

Project Goals

In the third phase, the project aimed to create the below impact for the refugee and host community:

• Increased access to vocational, life, business, financial and when required, basic literacy and numeracy skills among the refugees and the host community.
• Enhanced resilience and livelihood coping solutions through income generation from business groups, self or wage employment, and increased access to financial services.
• Develop a replicable and scalable skills development model for fragile contexts
