People, place and practical support
Care for refugee communities in Kenya.
Kenya's refugee communities include people living in Kakuma, Kalobeyei and the Dadaab complex. The pages in this section introduce these places and the wider context of family support in the country.
For OWAID, orphan and widow support begins with listening to the people closest to a family's needs. Education, housing and health are practical areas through which supporters can consider a lasting contribution to family wellbeing.
OWAID serves refugee communities in Kenya as part of its stated regional mission. Contact our team to discuss current outreach and location-specific opportunities. Our faith inspires service that welcomes people of every background.
- Learning opportunities for children
- Support for widows and caregivers
- Safe housing and access to care
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.
