BACKGROUND:
Windle International Kenya (WIK) is a humanitarian education organization providing education to refugees and needy Kenyans. WIK was founded in 1977 with the belief that good education was essential if Africa was to meet the challenges it faced. We are working with communities in Dadaab, Fafi, Wajir South, Turkana West, Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement on education projects.

educational programs from different tertiary education institutions and
partners with the aim of establishing a space with the requisite physical and
digital infrastructure to mount onsite, online and blended learning programs.
Once operational, the campus will allow students from Turkana West and beyond
to receive holistic support: refugee and host community children have access to
a learning Hub offering tertiary education opportunities that are relevant
through a blended approach to course delivery, on-site mentorship, advice and
tutoring, and courses that have been localized to ensure accessibility to local
students
