Find opportunities safely
Browse current listings in the Kakuma Hub directory. Always verify the source and deadline directly with the organisation before sharing personal information or applying.
Remember: Never pay to apply.
A real scholarship, job or training should not ask you for money, a PIN, or a password. Report suspicious listings through the community hub.
How to check a listing
- Look for the organisation’s own official website.
- Do not pay an unexpected application fee.
- Confirm deadlines and eligibility with the original source.
- Be cautious if a listing asks for your PIN or password.
