Resilience Action International (RAI)

Resilience Action International (RAI) is a refugee-led NGO operating in Kakuma-Kenya and Goma-DRC. With a mission to equip displaced youth with skills and tools for greater economic potential, RAI envisions a society where every displaced person thrives economically and socially. RAI operates through three key pillars: vocational education training (VET), entrepreneurship, and sexual and reproductive health (SRH), addressing the interconnected challenges of displacement.
