Our Secondary Education Programme is implemented in 6 secondary schools located in the 3 refugee camps of Hagadera, Ifo and Dagahaley in Dadaab.

Under the programme, we establish safe and inclusive learning spaces by constructing and repairing school facilities and infrastructure and ensure provision of adequate teaching and learning resources. Continuous teacher training and professional development programs ensure delivery of quality education, while mental health and psychosocial support services cater to learners' holistic needs.

We recognize the enormous transformative power of higher education and partner with our donors, Ministry of Education, and Accredited Institutions of Higher Learning to offer tertiary education scholarships and training opportunities for young, deserving, and academically talented refugee students in Kenya.

WIK manages the Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative-DAFI Programme in Kenya, that offers refugee students an opportunity to pursue undergraduate training. Initiated in 1992, it is funded by the Federal Republic of Germany, administered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and implemented by WIK in Kenya.

The program offers durable solutions to refugees by equipping them with knowledge and skills to develop resilience and self-reliance and pave the way for them to contribute to recovery and rebuilding after conflict upon repatriation.

WIK's vocational education and training equips scholars with entrepreneurship and work readiness skills, facilitating access to employment.

The programme provides market-oriented, certified Technical and Vocational training courses in partnership with top accredited Vocational Training and Technical Institutions in Kenya to provide the highest standard of vocational education to young refugee and host community students drawn from Kakuma and Dadaab Refugee Camps and surrounding areas.

Beneficiaries of the programme are enrolled in certificate and diploma programs targeting courses in automotive technology, mechanical engineering, electrical technology, nutrition and dietetics, Community Health and Development, Counselling Psychology.

Through this programme, young people are being empowered with the essential skills, knowledge and networks they need to become professionals, achieve their own potential and contribute to the success of their communities.

Due to the multicultural environment present in refugee and host communities, WIK offers English language programmes to improve English skills amongst learners to enhance their overall educational experience. Often times, these classes are most useful for girls, who face gender-related barriers earlier in their education.

The UUEP, administered by WIK, operates across key urban centers in Kenya of Nairobi, Eldoret, Nakuru, Mombasa, and their environs. This initiative aims to address educational disparities and enhance access to quality primary, junior school, secondary and special needs education for refugees in urban areas.

The program focusses on interventions that include tuition fee support, payment of related levies, school project development fees, provision of uniforms and Cash-Based Interventions (CBI). Programe activities involve home and school monitoring visits, educational guidance and counseling sessions, student conferences, stakeholder forums, and community sensitization and mobilization efforts.

UUEP is a pivotal initiative that is addressing educational inequalities and promoting inclusive education in urban areas of Kenya. Through targeted interventions and strategic partnerships, UEP continues to empower refugee students to realize their full potential and build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
