Life Changing Experience

February 23, 2026by: Aryan Garg - United States

Program: Volunteer for the Peace Center Project

Working in Kakuma has definitely been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, and there could not have been a better organization than PDRI to work with. Keep in mind that Kakuma is an incredibly challenging environment, translating literally to "Nowhere," but you will quickly come to fall in love with the place. The entire team is fantastic and goes out of its way to ensure that you can adjust to the environment and make a real impact on the community For a peek into my project, there: Check www.edutechrefuge.com

Grassroots conflict mediation at Kakuma Refugee Camp

I had a very positive experience collaborating with PDRI. I worked with PDRI in their efforts to mediate interethnic conflict, train future mediators and promote the Peace Center Project among the residents of Kakuma Refugee Camp. Throughout this experience, PDRI was by my side providing support and making sure I felt safe. Pascal and the rest of the team are really dedicated and hardworking and I was grateful for all they do. They promote peacebuilding, education for the youth in the camp, IT skills, social media, small business support, etc. I highly recommend volunteering with PDRI and encourage anyone who might be interested to contact the organisation.

The team of PDRI are truly amazing! Everyone is really nice, tries to help you and is keen to speak to you and get to know you! I was welcomed very warmly and felt that everyone is taking care of me and my safety. I had the possibility to create my workshops as I felt was the right way. I was there for four weeks and felt that there was not enough work for me the whole four weeks so I had a lot of free time.
