Resilient Voices from Kakuma (ONLINE)
In Europe, the view that refugees should be resettled exclusively within their own region is gaining traction. But what exactly is happening in those regions? And what is the fate of the vast majority of displaced people who have not traveled further than a neighboring country?
More than 300,000 people live together in the Kakuma and Kalobeyei refugee camps in Turkana, Kenya’s poorest region, struck by climate change. They come from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, Burundi, Somalia, and other countries. The vast majority of them depend on food aid, but in March of last year, this was reduced to 40% of the required number of calories. And services in the areas of education, healthcare, security, and water also took a severe hit.
What is it like to survive in the camps today? Which organizations are currently working to improve the situation? And what solutions do they see?
This event will take place in English.
