At SYI we are dedicated to transforming lives in Kakuma Refugee Camp and surrounding communities through education, empowerment, and advocacy. Since our founding on November 2023, we have remained committed to equipping youth and individuals with tools they needed to thrive.

Literacy & Numeracy
Our Literacy program provides essential, foundational education in reading and writing, serving as a critical stepping stone for youth and adults who may have had limited access to formal education. We focus on building both basic and intermediate English language skills, enabling learners to develop the confidence and competence necessary for everyday communication, personal development, and lifelong learning. Through tailored instruction, participants strengthen their ability to read signs, forms, instructions, and written communications, while also learning to express themselves clearly and effectively in writing. These skills are vital for managing daily tasks such as completing applications, understanding workplace materials, reading health information, and staying informed about current events. Beyond daily life, this program empowers individuals to pursue further education, engage with technology, improve their employability, and access greater economic and social opportunities. By equipping participants with strong literacy skills, we lay the groundwork for informed decision-making, increased independence, and active participation in their communities.
