Over 170 young women graduate from Global English Language programme in Kakuma Refugee Camp
This week, over 170 young women in Kakuma graduated from the Global English Language programme! This cohort is part of JWL’s high school outreach efforts to encourage and support female refugee enrolment in higher education.
This week, the JWL community in Kakuma Refugee Camp (Kenya) celebrated the Global English Language (GEL) programme graduation of over 170 young women!
Female refugees face specific sets of challenges in pursuing tertiary studies, ranging from cultural barriers, early marriage and pregnancy, through to a lack of solid English language skills. This cohort is part of JWL’s high school outreach efforts to encourage and support their enrolment in higher education.
The GEL programme serves as a stepping stone for learners to access JWL professional and academic programmes, for greater chances of success at a local university, as well as greater professional opportunities.
“The GEL course made me feel much more confident when I speak and write in English and I got better at listening, which I think will help me find more chances for further study,” says Everlyne, one of the graduates.
