Building Blocks For Long-Term Learning And Development

• Server Resources

  Access to server environments is critical to learning designers and developers. Low-cost shared servers struggle in large-scale settings like AReL’s growing campus in Kakuma. Bnevol’s high-capacity servers provide the scalability and reliability needed to support students and advance AReL’s mission, at no cost to AReL or its students. Additionally, Bnevol maintains the servers and provides ongoing support to students.

• cPanel Accounts

  cPanel accounts equip students with essential server administration skills, from managing databases, accessing files and directories, controlling FTP access, to modifying DNS settings, and more. With dedicated cPanel accounts, students gain hands-on experience in a key industry tool. Bnevol covers the often costly cPanel licenses, ensuring access without burdening the organization.

• Dedicated Subdomains

  Managed dedicated subdomains empower students with a unique online presence, practical staging environments for skill application, and a public portfolio to showcase their achievements, enhancing visibility to potential employers.

• Software Subscriptions

  The cost of industry-grade software that practitioners use to wield and hone their skills often serve as a barrier to those aspiring to enter new fields. Lack of access to the tools means students’ are denied learning before their journeys ever begin. Bnevol sponsors multi-seat software subscriptions across numerous platforms that remove this barrier by sponsoring the cost.

Living Conditions

The Kakuma refugee operation hosts over 283,000 refugees and asylum-seekers from 22 nationalities, primarily from South Sudan, Somalia, Burundi, and the DRC, with 70% being children and youth. Staff should be aware of challenging living conditions, with high temperatures averaging 35°C (95°F) and peaking at 38°C (100.4°F) in January-March. The area experiences short rains in November-December and long rains from mid-March to June, causing flooding and limited movement. Hazards include dust storms, heat exhaustion, insects, snakes, scorpions, and a high malaria risk. Medical facilities are basic, with referrals primarily to Nairobi. The compound, offering basic amenities, internet, a cafeteria, and a gym, is a non-family duty station where family visits are not allowed. The increasing refugee population and limited livelihood prospects present challenges to social cohesion and resource competition, requiring resilience and commitment from staff.
