We will begin teaching a new cohort of the Phoenix Space Program, our main STEM education offering, at the Nama’a Center in Kilis, Turkey, in mid-June 2021. Registration for the program is underway, and we anticipate that approximately 20 students will be starting the 32-week program. This will be the second cohort of our program at the Nama’a Center and our 9th overall. We are working to add more centers and classes in the region as we continue to scale our operations.
Kibera: Where Resilience Meets Possibility
Kibera began over a century ago as a temporary settlement for Sudanese soldiers. Today, it’s one of the world’s largest informal urban settlements, home to around 1.2 million people, shaped by decades of migration, conflict, and climate disruption.
Often reduced to statistics on poverty and overcrowding, Kibera is also a vibrant, tightly woven community filled with courage and ingenuity. It’s a place where grassroots movements are rewriting futures, especially for the next generation.
But the challenges are real, and urgent.
