Kenya

Salesian missionaries are helping poor youth and their families through education, nutrition and workforce development in the Kakuma refugee camp and across Kenya. UNICEF noted that while Kenya has free and compulsory education, youth in poverty still cannot afford to attend school resulting in close to 90 percent of children from poor households failing to complete their basic education.

Through Salesian programs, missionaries help young people take responsibility for their own lives and train them in the skills necessary to find and retain employment in order to support themselves and improve their communities. In addition to providing hope through education, Salesian missionaries are responding to the urgent needs of the increasing refugee crisis and the life-threatening drought facing much of Africa.
