We provide assistance to refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma camps in Kenya, and kismayu in somalia

With close to 400,000 inhabitants, the Dadaab refugee camp is the biggest in the world. The first refugee camp was established near Dadaab in 1991, accomodating refugees from the Horn of Africa region. Today, 95 percent of the refugees fled the conflict in Somalia, 4 percent come from Ethiopia and the remaining from other African countries. LWF assists in Education, Peace and Protection, Sustainable Livelihoods, Shelter and Support to people with disabilities.

Located in Turkana County, in the north-western region of Kenya, the Kakuma refugee camp is hosting people displaced by violence in their countries since 1992. Today it accomodates 175,000 people. Half of them fled the conflict in South Sudan, another 32 percent come from Somalia, the others are from Sudan and Ethiopia. The area is prone to dust storms and flooding, making the provision of safe drinking water a major challenge.
