Past Events
April 2024 | Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya
With mentorship at the core of ISMH’s mission, the team successfully conducted two mentorship programs in Kakuma: one in Kakuma 1 and another in Kakuma 4, which also included students from Kakuma 2, Kakuma 3, and the Kalobeyei Settlement. These programs were designed for Junior High School students, Senior High School students, and recent Form Four graduates. The primary objective was to offer guidance, support, and recognition, thereby fostering a culture of academic excellence and personal growth. Key topics covered included career guidance and available scholarship opportunities within the camp. We had a total attendant of 350+ Students.
