Kele Global is a refugee-focused nonprofit organization founded in 2019 by Hashem Mekki, a Sudanese-American international policy analyst and educator. Our mission is to empower disadvantaged children & youth in East Africa. Our current focus is on refugee communities that have fled the ongoing conflict in South Sudan. We are based in Kampala, Uganda, with secondary operations in Washington, D.C.

Projects completed by Kele Global include enrolling children into social development programs, training parents and teachers, and supporting chronically ill patients with life-saving medication. The efforts made by Kele Global are meant to encourage the next generation of youth can grow in a safe and healthy environment. Kele Global’s mission is most directly associated with assisting children in impacted areas, but the organization itself works with every member of the community as they are all involved with raising the next generation. 

Kele Global is a 501 (C) (3) tax-deductible nonprofit organization in the U.S.A and a registered entity in Uganda.
