Empowering Refugees, Restoring Dignity, Building Resilience.
Life Skills for Better Future (LSBF) is a refugee-led community-based organization in Kakuma, Kenya, empowering displaced children, youth, and women with skills, livelihoods, and hope for a sustainable future.
Who We Are
Welcome to LSBF, Kakuma, Kenya
Founded in 2018, Life Skills for Better Future (LSBF) began as a small refugee self-help group the Beauty and Washing Products Makers Group (BWPG) teaching youth to make soaps and beauty products for income and independence.
Today, LSBF has evolved into a fully registered, refugee-led community organisation that delivers vocational training, livelihood development, psychosocial empowerment, and environmental action.
We believe displacement should not erase potential it should ignite possibility.
