Winner of Grant to Promote WiFi Hotspot in Kakuma 1

We recently won a grant from Lutheran World Federation to serve refugees in Kakuma.

We are building WiFi Hotspot service for educational centers and cafes.

We have an update! We recently were awarded a grant from the Lutheran World Foundation to extend our wifi hotspot to youth centers and cafe’s around Kakuma Block 1 at the Kakuma Refugee Camp.

We now have five total hotspots and hope to grow our user base to over 1000 people using our service. Please share the update with your friends.

If you’d like to help us fund the project. Please reach out to Kurt or Innocent.
