EDUCATE A CHILD: DEVELOP A NATION
Gua Africa provides educational programs for those affected by conflict and persecution in East Africa. We primarily work in Kenya offering education to refugees who have survived war and genocide.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
There are many different ways you can support Gua Africa’s work as an individual and a school or business; such as community fundraising, online shopping, and sponsoring a child.
'You will never know the potential of any child unless that person is given an opportunity; and there is no bigger opportunity than the gift of education and self-development.'

Gatwitch Hub
Since 2019 we have been working with over 400 youth at our inaugural Gatwitch Hub; a refugee led project space at the heart of the South Sudanese community in Kakuma Refugee camp, Kenya. We are committed to developing it as a safe space for our beneficiaries, supporting them with their wide ranging skills, talents and creativity.
Survivors of War Programme
Our Programme empowers young refugees who overcame immense adversity, including child soldiering and genocide, by providing education and vocational training in East Africa. The initiative fosters personal success and self-sufficiency, offering support from primary education to higher learning.
I am a qualified doctor and I have nearly completed my studies to become a surgeon. I was recently given a job by a national NGO based in Juba, South Sudan and they have sent me to Leer for work to help those most in need. Special thanks to Gua Africa, and each one of you who have played a role in getting me this far.
