Solidarity Initiative for Refugees

Solidarity Initiative for Refugees (SIR) is a for impact refugee-led community-based organization established in 2016 with the goal of using technology to equip refugees and locals in Kakuma with the skills and tools to create a better future for themselves. The organization empowers youth in Kakuma through education access and livelihoods trainings using digital learning methods. The mission of SIR is to support youth (both men and women equally) back to the path of regaining what insecurity, discrimination, war, and disaster took away from them.
