Transforming Ideas Into Handmade Impact
Local production. Green jobs. Stronger communities.
At the heart, we’re an organization of people who love to create change. We love empowering our communities to grow, and when they do, nothing makes us prouder. We don’t just look for opportunities. In a place where opportunities are limited, we support our people to create them.
That’s Kakuma Eco-Bag. That’s our DNA.
We are a refugee-led social enterprise that trains and empowers youth in Kakuma to make eco-friendly products and packaging material. But there’s more… We use a cooperative revenue-sharing model, where trainees join our brand, work together, and share profits.
Handmade Impact by Refugee Youth
Imagine turning simple paper into a source of income, skills, and hope. Yup, you read that right. Our youth are changing lives with nothing but their own beautiful hands, their creativity, and khaki paper.
They’re crafting eco-friendly products by hand. They’re proving that a simple skill can open doors, support families, and inspire an entire community. Each package carries more than a product. It carries dignity, purpose, and a future shaped by the youth themselves.
This is handmade impact. This is hope in action. This is Kakuma Ecobag.
Innovative. Bold. Intentional
We’re creating opportunities for our youth to grow, earn, and shine. And while at it, we’re doing our bit for the environment.
