[Journey Update] Taking Strides Forward: Completion of Student Registration and Induction
Action for Refugee Life Celebrates a Key Milestone in its Journey Towards Sustainable Impact
In the continuous effort to provide refugees support and foster sustainability, Action for Refugee Life (AReL) is thrilled to announce the completion of student registration and induction for our pilot program. This achievement marks another significant milestone in our commitment to creating lasting social impact within the Kakuma refugee camp.
|
For our first pilot, we registered 246 students eager to join our Digital Marketing cohort for morning and afternoon sessions. |
Challenges: Infrastructure and resources continue to be significant constraints.
Despite our earnest commitment and relentless drive, the journey toward this milestone was difficult. Our initial plan was to launch the first class of our pilot program on 3rd July, a deadline set with optimism and determination. However, needing more financial support proved a stumbling block in our path.
Our student recruitment drive, launched on 13th June, met with an overwhelming response, reinforcing our belief in the latent potential within the refugee community. Out of the numerous applications, 56 promising candidates were shortlisted. The induction and English comprehension test, a prerequisite for our English-mediated program, was conducted on 29th June.

Our CEO, Kiza Mauridi notes, "Despite considerable planning and effort, the ever-persistent power shortages and inadequate internet bandwidth posed significant hurdles to our teaching methodology." |
In addition, to ensure that the project bears fruit, we recognized the importance of supporting and enabling our instructors to do their best work.
Successes: Prevailing with determination.
Kiza observes "The overwhelming response from the students and instructors fills me with immense pride and drives my resolve to push through any barriers we may encounter."
We registered 246 students for our first pilot training course in Digital Marketing.
|
For program placement, 40 of these students have now advanced into two cohorts, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. |
This milestone in AReL's journey is a testament to the resilience and commitment of our team, the instructors, and the students. Despite our challenges, from financial constraints to logistical issues, we remained undeterred in our mission. We navigated these obstacles with resourcefulness and determination, paving the way for completing student registration and induction.
We remain thankful to Hubspot Academy for their thought leadership and free Digital Marketing course that remains a benchmark certification across industries.
What's Next:
We prepare for our first classroom lessons in the center. This will be a significant milestone achievement that officially brings our pilot program to life.
Conclusion:
The journey of AReL is a story of aspiration, resilience, and transformation. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain aware that our journey is far from over. We eagerly look forward to the strides we will continue to make in fostering sustainability and creating a lasting social impact in the Kakuma refugee camp.
