Introduction: Kenya has taken significant steps toward promoting economic inclusion for refugees.

TRANSFORMING COMMUNITY LIVELIHOODS SINCE 2009

L'Afrikana Community-Based Organization began as a humble initiative in 2009, founded by a group of resilient refugees and committed local community members who believed that true transformation must come from within. What started as a small, grassroots movement under the banner of "Women and Youth Alive" quickly grew into a vital platform that has empowered thousands of individuals through education, skills development, advocacy, and social inclusion. Officially registered in 2015, L'Afrikana has since evolved into one of the most respected refugee-led organizations in Kenya, offering sustainable solutions to the livelihood challenges facing both refugee and host communities.

Why Refugee Education Can’t Wait ?

All children deserve a future. Sadly, for millions of refugee children globally, this future is getting harder to reach each day. Education is not only a basic human right, but it is also a powerful tool for creating change. Unfortunately, far too many young refugees do not have access to education. At L’Afrikana, we firmly believe that providing education to refugee and host children is essential and cannot be postponed. Their future depends on it, and we are committed to making sure it happens. It's about giving them hope and a fair chance in life. We recognize that education is crucial for empowering these children and helping them build better lives, despite the challenging circumstances they face. THE URGENCY OF NOW Right now, more than half of the world’s refugee children are not attending school. In some places, especially in Africa, the situation is even worse. Children in refugee camps and city settlements face huge challenges, such as being far from home, living in poverty, feeling unsafe, and dealing with traumatic experiences. These obstacles make getting an education very difficult. Delays in providing education mean children lose more than just learning; they lose hope, opportunities, and the ability to rebuild their lives. Whole generations might grow up without the knowledge and skills needed to escape poverty, help their communities, or stand up for their rights. Education for refugees is not just something nice to offer; it’s essential for peace, stability, and a prosperous future. EDUCATION IS PROTECTION Education offers more than just teaching reading, writing, and math. It protects refugee children from daily dangers. Schools are safe havens where children are less likely to be exploited, forced into child labor, married too early, or recruited by armed groups. When refugee children attend school, they are less likely to fall into cycles of violence and poverty. They gain both academic knowledge and crucial life skills like conflict resolution, emotional resilience, and civic responsibility. Education empowers them, giving them a voice in their own futures and in their communities.
