We Have a New Office in Kakuma Town Serving Refugees and Host Community!

By Richard Waindi | Project Leader

Dear Donors and Friends,

We are excited to let you know that in May this year we signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the UNHCR to start working with older refugees in Kakuma Refugee camps alongside the host community in North Western Kenya.

Following the above milestone, we opened our third country office in Kakuma town from June 1, 2026, to oversee all our humanitarian activities in Turkana County.

Our humanitarian initiatives in Turkana County will feature two pillars:

AgeWatch ElderCare - delivers a contiuum of professional elder care including home care and day care to ageing refugees including those living with disabilities.
AgeWatch Futures - offers livelihoods opportunities and kills for refugee youth and women in Kenya; a bridge from aid dependency to self-reliant community life. Core tracks of this pillar include Agribusiness (climate-resilient farming and markets), Digital Skills (freelancing and enrepreneurship) and Humanitarian Initiatives (village savings and loans associations, mentorship & UNHCR-aligned livelihoods)

We deeply appreciate your continued support that ensures dignified and graceful ageing while focusing on dignity in every season!

Looking ahead to the remaining part of 2026, we continue to seek bold and compassionate leadership to protect the dignity, health and rights of older refugees in Kenya, starting with the over 4,000 living in Kakuma Refugee Camps in North Western Kenya.

In deep gratitude,

Richard Waindi

Founder & CEO

AgeWatch Africa Foundation.
