Thus,we have tree(3)classes of English,French class,Swahili class,Computer class,Small business class and Medical laboratory class.
We also incoming generating activities.As result of a huge number of teenager mothers and windows that are found in the environs of YEDA,we have restored back the programs of incoming generating activities to ascertain them with means of survival of a certain social standard life.
In regards with host community,this community is nomadic.It relies on cattle keeping that cause many of them to literate it hardens the possibility of them being straitened to pursue the normal education (Formal education).
To sustain their future life, YEDA has organised the center of vocational in which we have:
II.HIV/AIDS
The working area of YEDA is situated in the refugee camp of KAKUMA,KALOBEYEI and all the villages of the Host surrounding the two camp,including the town of KAKUMA.
III.FIGHT AGAINST DRUG ABUSE
The working of YEDA situates in the camp of KAKUMA and KALOBEYEI.
The camp contains the refugee 0riginated from different countries of Africa.
I.e: SUDAN,SOUTH SUDAN,CONGO,SOMALIA,BURUNDI,UGANDA,ETHIOPIA,etc.........of which many of the refugee were soldiers in their country they came from.
In a such a case,we have 60% of Youth abuse them selves with drug,25% of minor children and even married women rate to 15% do the same.
The majority of population came from contains 80% of communities mentioned.
Therefore,YEDA takes in consideration to cry out against drug abuse to do away robbery and different sorts of dangerous in all the refugee camps and their environs not forgetting the small town of KAKUMA situated in Turkana West.
IV. SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
YEDA SRH program aims to reduce unintended pregnancies and HIV infections among young people.
Objectives of SRH program
- Promote accurate knowledge and information about sexual and reproductive health through peer-based training,radio programs, sports activities and performing arts (such as puppet shows,dramas and poems,music, handicraft).
- Mentor a coucil of SRH champions in kakuma with Youth Representatives who will take roles of peer educators,counselors,speakers,and youth leaders.
- Facilitate access to secure, private counseling and family planning services (contraceptives and condoms) for sexually active youth at local facilities in the camp.
-Increase positive attitude and full support among parents and community members on use of family planning in sexually active young people.
V. FIGHT AGAINST EARLY MARRIAGE
It is clearly observed that camp of KAKUMA and KALOBEYEI,early marriage is exercised to a very high rate.Giving for the a signal that Youth under 18 years impregnate among them selves,Youth of 25 years and above and married men get married to young girls of years under 18.This effects to many numerous divorces and many end up miterate.
To prevent this YEDA restores beek the programme to fight against Early marriege to promote Youth Education.

- Human rights awareness through training sessions and IEC materials.
VII. AGRICULTURE AND FARMING
Working area of YEDA is found in semi-desert region (diminished of trees and gran),there is no adequate rain,even permanent rivers.Being an association with farming and cattle keeping programme we train the community various techniques of farming of cattle keeping to improvise them vegetables and meat besides provision givene by UNHCR.
Moreover,KAKUMA and KALOBEYEI are the camps where the sun shines extraordinarily to point that people lose oxygen.It is hot region.
We,YEDA after being given erops by big international organisation working in those camps,we are sensitizing the community to transplant from nursery in their plots and also in the schools.
In this point of view and what does with the hort,the host community consists of cattle herders and anyway,they are nomadic as a result of their cattle keeping but the way they keep their cattle is not appropriate.
As a solution to this,YEDA organise some sorts of workshops to give the some techniques for them to do their cattle keeping a bit better and reproductive.
