Help Us Secure Land and a Permanent Office for Refugee Youth

(AUVD) urgently needs support to acquire land and establish a permanent office and community learning space in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya.

Today, our music and arts programs are conducted under trees and in borrowed spaces from neighbors because we have no land or facility of our own. When it rains, lessons stop. When the sun is too hot, children struggle to learn. Our instruments and equipment remain at risk, and many young people miss opportunities to develop their talents.

Despite these challenges, we continue providing music education, vocal training, life skills, and creative activities that support mental health and emotional well-being.

Your support can help us build a safe, permanent home where refugee children and youth can learn, create, and thrive.

Help Us Build a Safe Space for Refugee Children and Youth

We uses music and arts to support the mental health, emotional well-being, and development of children and youth in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya.

Thanks to generous supporters, we have received musical instruments and equipment that allow us to provide music lessons, vocal training, and creative learning opportunities. However, we face a major challenge: we do not have land or a permanent space for our programs.

Most of our activities take place under trees or in borrowed spaces. During rain, extreme heat, or strong winds, lessons are disrupted, limiting opportunities for young people eager to learn and grow. This affects consistency, safety, and the quality of education we can provide.

We are seeking support to secure land and establish a permanent community music center where children and youth can safely learn, create, and thrive.

MUSIC INSTRUMENT EDUCATION PROGRAM – STUDENT HIGHLIGHT

Art and Unity for Vulnerable Development (AUVD) proudly celebrates students in our Music Instrument Education Program in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. We create a safe and supportive space where young people express themselves through creative arts, supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Many students face trauma, stress, and difficult living conditions. Through music, they are able to express emotions, heal, build confidence, and restore hope.

Through consistent training, students are developing strong skills in rhythm, technique, coordination, and performance. The program nurtures talent, discipline, creativity, and confidence.
