The Discover Economic Empowerment Program (DEEP) will support 25 refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp to build practical financial skills, develop regular saving habits, and access small loans through a Community Savings and Loan Association (CSLA). Participants will complete 24 practical sessions covering financial literacy, saving, budgeting, financial planning, debt management, financial goal setting, and income-generating activities.
Many refugees in Kakuma face barriers that make it difficult to build stable livelihoods. These include limited access to capital, financial services, and economic opportunities. The DEEP Implementation Guide also identifies gaps in financial management skills and access to capital as challenges that can limit economic mobility. Many people may want to save or start a small business but do not have the financial knowledge, systems, or access to small amounts of capital that can help them move

DEEP aims to help refugees build stronger and more stable livelihoods. Through financial education, regular saving, and access to small community loans, participants can learn to manage their money, plan for the future, and invest in small businesses or other income-generating activities. The savings groups can continue after the training, allowing members to support each other and access money when needed. Over time, DEEP will help participants become more financially independent
