Education is a powerful tool and without it few of us would reach our full potential. There are more than 6.5 million people living stateless throughout the world. In refugee camps, girls rarely have the opportunity to pursue their education beyond primary school and without education these young people have no way out.
UBC's Faculty of Education is working with World University Services Canada (WUSC) on offering a teacher education program to the Dadabb Refugee Camp in north-eastern Kenya. In this camp, girls struggle to obtain an education. By providing solar lamps for girls, they are able to study in their homes rather than risking their safety after dark. To fund these solar lamps, WUSC has created a new Shine a Light campaign. Give a young girl an opportunity to reach her full potential. Give her a chance to shine!
