Education, care and well-being
for refugee children

We support the resilience of livelihoods of refugee children, women and youth including those with disabilities and host community in Kyaka II refugee settlement

Our Goal

Hodari Foundation’s Childcare Program is dedicated to supporting the well-being and development of refugee children, providing a nurturing environment where children can access essential services such as safe care, educational support and emotional guidance. Our program focuses on building trust, fostering resilience, and empowering young refugees with the skills and confidence they need to thrive.

Why We Do This

Kyaka II Refugee Settlement is home to over 130,000 refugees, with an estimated 60% being children, according to Save the Children. At HF, we are dedicated to supporting vulnerable children, including orphans, unaccompanied minors, and children living with both disability & albinism. These groups are often underlooked and are not prioritised, despite being the future of our communities and the world at large.

What We Do

At HF, we create a safe environment for children to express their emotions, share stories, and learn soft skills. Our focus is on helping them discover their identity through systems thinking. This approach allows them to identify their talents, grow as individuals, and become responsible, and  independent as they turn adulthood.

  • Education that supports ‘learn-by-doing’ and learning how to learn,
  • Inclusive early childhood Education Centre for refugee and host community children,
  • Inclusive Vocational Skills Training Center to promote up-skilling, re-skilling and digitisation,
  • Inclusive sports facility to develop talent and create pathways,
  • Paying school fees and providing other school and out-of-school needs for children from very poor households,
  • Inclusive school transport services for children with disabilities,
  • One-on-one mentorship provides personalised attention and encouragement, helping to overcome personal challenges,
  • Connecting children with caring mentors and other refugee children helps to integrate them into their new communities,
  • Providing structured activities aims to enhance their overall well-being and spark creativity,
  • Nurturing their unique talents and skills helps to empower their identities and pave the way for a brighter future.
