Kakuma Connect

Six months of connection. Unlimited potential. High-speed access delivered directly to the community that needs it most.

For residents in Kakuma camp, limited internet means limited opportunities. That is changing with Kakuma Connect. Driven by local entrepreneur Elijah Durman, this ground-level operation is bringing vital, high-speed infrastructure directly to the camp. Backed by a $15,000 seed donation from MAAK Impact, Elijah has successfully launched the first internet pod in the bustling market of Kakuma 3—an area specifically chosen for its dense population and thriving business environment.

When you donate, you are not just paying for Wi-Fi. You are opening a door to the global economy. You are providing a student with remote education, a local business with digital tools, and families with the ability to connect. Most importantly, you are fueling the momentum needed to build new pods and expand this critical infrastructure into other regions of Kakuma.

Your $60 donation provides:

  • 📶 6 months of high-speed internet for a local resident who could not otherwise afford it

  • 📚 Unrestricted access to digital education, business efficiencies, and global connection

  • 👨🏾💻 Direct backing for a locally operated enterprise managed by Elijah Durman

  • 🚀 Essential momentum to help expand Kakuma Connect pods into new neighborhoods

Your donation goes directly toward subsidizing internet access for individuals in need, empowering the Kakuma 3 market and laying the groundwork for camp-wide expansion.

One connection. Six months. Real impact.

Your purchase reaches the refugees who need it most and grows a refugee business, at the same time.

What happens when I make a Give to Grow purchase?

Your donation is used to purchase goods directly from a refugee-run business inside Kakuma. Those goods are then delivered by the Maak Impact team to a vetted family or individual in need inside the camp. Every purchase supports two people at once — the entrepreneur supplying the product and the family receiving it.
How do I know my donation actually reaches someone?

Our team lives and works inside Kakuma. Every delivery is coordinated on the ground by people who know the camp, know the families, and track every purchase. When you give, the goods are bought and delivered — not held in a fund or delayed by overhead.
Can I give to a specific business or product?

Yes. Each Give to Grow listing is tied to a specific refugee-run business and a specific product. When you choose a listing, your donation goes directly to that business and that purchase. You can see exactly what you are buying, who made it, and who it goes to.
  • Vetted entrepreneurs
  • Redistributed
