In 2015 Belgian teacher Koen Timmers shipped his own laptop to Kakuma Refugee Camp and started to teach refugees via Skype. The camp – based in Kenya – is home to 200,000 refugees who fled from war and hunger in several African countries. 55% of the refugees in Kakuma are children, only half of them attend school.
At this moment the project – endorsed by Charlize Theron, Jane Goodall and HRM Princess Esmeralda – unites teachers across 75 countries and has its 2 own Innovation Lab Schools an 4 educational programs.
Interactions with students globally.

For young adults.
Via Video lessons.
Thousands of children don’t have acces to education. Your donation to the Kakuma Project is an investment for the future, it gets us one step closer to provide quality education for every child.
Your support will be directly used to keep the program and school running, to buy pens, tape, paper, laptops,… and additional desks and chairs so we can scale up and involve more students. Thank you!
Grateful to have the support of our fantastic ambassadors and supporters Hanne Mestdagh and Nhial Deng for our cycling trip to the benefit of Project Kakuma and free education for refugees.
