Help Action for Refugee Life (AReL) by donating laptops or computers for refugee students in Kakuma refugee camp
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
AReL is empowering young refugees in Kakuma Camp by providing technology training to those without a technical background. Kakuma hosts over 300,000 refugees from more than 11 countries, and the situation is becoming increasingly critical as major donors pull back. We believe this is the best time for refugees to lead their own lives. To make that possible, we offer training in MERN Fullstack Development, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, and Digital Marketing and engage with companies for hires or internship opportunities. However, 95% of our students do not own personal computers. They rely on the few computers available in our centres, which are not enough, students often have to share. That’s why we are calling on compassionate individuals and organizations to join hands with us by providing laptops and computers. Your contribution will help these young people gain the skills they need to build a better future.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
