People, place and practical support
Seeing the families behind Dadaab.
Dadaab is a refugee complex in northeastern Kenya. The term refers to a group of camps, and UNHCR continues to list Dadaab among its areas of work in the country.
Every family has a story that reaches beyond the name of a camp. OWAID's concern for orphans and widows centres on dignity, with education, housing and health as practical priorities for supporting family life.
To learn how OWAID's current outreach relates to refugee communities in Kenya, please speak with our team. We can discuss available opportunities connected to Dadaab. Our Christian calling to care includes people of every background.
- Education for vulnerable children
- Care and encouragement for widows
- Stable housing and family health
This page provides regional context. Contact OWAID to confirm current outreach, available projects and the arrangements for any location-specific gift.
Help with a clear purpose
Community support that starts with listening.
The needs of a widow caring for children may span education, daily essentials and opportunities to earn. Ask OWAID about current outreach in Kenya and how a gift can be matched with a clearly described need.
You can help through a one-time gift, ongoing support, fundraising or an appropriate partnership. The team can discuss a program’s scope, budget and the information available to supporters.
