Jesuit Worldwide Learning (JWL) virtual global classroom, Kakuma camp (Kenya). In this classroom, 79 students, 22 of whom are women, follow a blended three-year Diploma of Liberal Studies, combing face to face support with online learning. JWL offers a much-needed higher learning opportunity in a context characterized by challenges. Obstacles facing students include financial difficulties, cultural or traditional practices that do not favor girl’s education, congested schools, under-resourced facilities, a lack of trained teachers, and often gaps in recognition of earlier studies. But within these constrained conditions, JWL is a beacon of hope, providing a high quality degree from Regis University, from within the camp conditions.
