A world away from Creighton

Creighton donor support in Africa

In December 2023, Creighton President the Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD, led a Creighton delegation of alumni, faculty and staff to the Kakuma and Dzaleka Refugee Camps in, respectively, Kenya and Malawi. They were there to meet with Jesuit Worldwide Learning students and to see the progress of the students' businesses, which had been funded by Creighton donors.

The JWL projects include a chicken coop, greenhouses, a soapmaking business and, 8,000 miles from Creighton's Omaha campus, the Bluejays Cafe. To read more about the grant program the projects benefited, click here. Or watch a video of the Creighton delegation here.

Below, you will find a gallery of images by Creighton photographer A.J. Olnes that show some of the great work these students are doing for their communities.
