Kakuma currently stands as one of the largest refugee camps in the world, with over 185,000 refugees living there from all over the continent. Located in the dusty, harsh desert conditions of Turkana County, Kenya, the refugee camp was founded in 1992, primarily in response to the arrival of the "Lost Boys of Sudan," a group of over 20,000 boys who fled the Sudanese Civil War and walked for over two years through treacherous terrain before finally landing in Kakuma.

Many of these refugees graduate high school and find themselves lost with nothing to do, as the Kenyan government restricts their employment. They struggle with figuring out how they can better themselves, continue their learning, or possibly make some money. Bringing access and teaching ICT skills to refugees like those in Kakuma can let them access a new world of learning.
