AgriHope is a project powered by Generation Aid to empower refugee youth, women, and teenage mothers in Kakuma Refugee Camp to overcome hunger and unemployment through climate-smart permaculture, fish farming, and poultry rearing. By providing skills, starter inputs, and income pathways, the project increases food security, boosts household income, and reduces long-term dependency on aid, building resilient, self-reliant communities in a harsh climate.
Refugees in Kakuma face chronic food insecurity and unemployment due to prolonged displacement, limited livelihood opportunities, and harsh climatic conditions. Most households depend on inconsistent food aid that does not meet nutritional needs. Youth, women, and teenage mothers are the most affected, lacking access to income and skills. Poor soil, water scarcity, and climate shocks make traditional farming unviable, leaving families trapped in hunger, poverty, and long-term aid dependency.
The project will address food insecurity and unemployment by training refugee youth, women, and teenage mothers in climate-smart permaculture, poultry farming, and fish farming. Participants will receive practical skills, starter inputs, and ongoing technical support to produce nutritious food and generate income. By establishing drought-resilient gardens, poultry units, and fish ponds, households improve nutrition, build livelihoods, and reduce long-term dependence on food aid in the Camp
Over the long term, the project will strengthen food security and economic resilience for more than 2,000 refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp. By equipping at least 500 youth, women, and teenage mothers with sustainable agriculture and agribusiness skills, families will generate ongoing income, access nutritious food, and reduce dependence on aid. Community-led food production will improve nutrition, stabilize livelihoods, and create lasting pathways to self-reliance in a climate-vulnerable setting.
