Founder's Message

## A Message from Our Founder

> "Every young person in Kakuma carries within them an unbreakable spirit. RAHA exists to fan that flame into a future full of hope."

When I looked around Kakuma and saw young people — full of potential — struggling with trauma, loss of identity, and uncertainty, I knew something had to be done. Not by outsiders, but by us, from within our own community.

RAHA was born from that conviction. We believe that healing starts with belonging — with knowing your language, your story, your worth. Through sports, culture, and counselling, we create spaces where young people can breathe, grow, and lead.

Every program we run, every life we touch, is proof that when communities invest in their youth, the future changes. I invite you to be part of this journey — as a supporter, partner, or friend of RAHA.

Mr. Allan Founder & Executive Director, RAHA

Who We Are

# About RAHA

Raise Again Hope Again — a youth-led movement born from the heart of Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya.

Our Story

## Born from Community Need

RAHA was formed by young refugees who witnessed firsthand how trauma, cultural loss, unemployment, and lack of guidance were limiting the potential of their peers. Rather than wait for solutions to come from outside, they built one from within.

The organization believes that when people are supported emotionally, connected to their culture, and given space to grow their talents, they can heal and build better lives.

RAHA focuses on three program areas: Languages and Cultural Preservation, Sports and Talent Development, and Guidance and Counselling — all community-based, youth-focused, and designed to promote peace, well-being, and self-reliance.

Target Population

## Who We Serve

#### Youth & Adolescents

Primary focus on young refugees aged 15–35 seeking support and opportunities.

#### Women & Girls

Dedicated spaces and programs specifically supporting women and girls in the camp.

#### Persons with Disabilities

Inclusive programming ensuring participation regardless of physical ability.

#### Host Communities

Bridging refugee and host community relations in Turkana West Sub-County.

Partnerships

## Who We Work With

#### Community Leaders

#### Local & Int'l NGOs

#### Humanitarian Partners

#### UN Agencies

What We Do

# Our Programs

Three transformative program areas built around the real needs of Kakuma's refugee youth.

Program 1

## Languages & Cultural Preservation

When people lose their language and culture, they also lose confidence, belonging, and identity. This can increase stress and social conflict. RAHA's language program works to reverse this.

#### Key Activities:

- Teaching native languages of refugees and host communities
- Storytelling sessions led by elders and cultural leaders
- Poetry, songs, and oral traditions shared by youth
- Cultural dialogue sessions to promote understanding
- Youth-led translation and interpretation support

Program 2

## Sports & Talent Development

Many youth lack safe and positive activities. Sports and talent give young people a sense of purpose and belonging, while building health, leadership, and unity across communities.

#### Key Activities:

- Community sports activities: football and volleyball
- Sports tournaments involving refugee and host community youth
- Identification and mentorship of talented youth
- Life skills training: teamwork and leadership
- Inclusive sports spaces for girls and youth with disabilities

Program 3

## Guidance & Counselling

Many people in the camp do not have access to counselling or mental health support, even though they desperately need it. RAHA provides safe, community-based emotional support.

#### Key Activities:

- One-on-one counselling sessions
- Group counselling and peer support groups
- Mental health awareness sessions
- Life skills training on coping and decision-making
- Referrals to professional services when needed
