ABOUT ACARE
ACARE Association (AA), a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) duly registered as an association under the Societies Act of Kenya (CAP 108) which was formed in response to the literacy needs of the people of Turkana with the aim of improving the correlation between the refugees within the Kakuma refugee camp and those in the host community by breaking the communication barrier.
ACARE promotes the development of a literate, secure, healthy, gender-sensitive and peaceful society that fosters sustainable grassroots development. To this end, ACARE’s primary aim is to use literacy to promote socio-economic development and transformation in rural areas by addressing core community problems and challenges.
We foster literacy skills across the target age-groups, while paying particular attention to socially disadvantaged and vulnerable groups such as non-literate women and girls, HIV-positive people, out-of-school youth, orphans, vulnerable children and primary school pupils with poor literacy skills.
