WHO WE ARE

Resilience Action International (RAI) is a non-profit, refugee-led organization based in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Turkana West, Turkana County, Kenya. RAI started in 2010 with the goal of empowering refugee youths in Kakuma through skills and economic development. We became a legal Community Based Organization in 2014 and later transitioned to NGO status in 2016. Our name changed from Solidarity and Advocacy with Vulnerable Individuals in Crisis (SAVIC) to RAI to better reflect our future ambition to serve refugees in East Africa and displaced youth beyond Turkana County.
