Field notes, perspectives, stories & updates from IAFR's work in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya
I got more photos showing progress on the KISOM classrooms and a few other enhancements to the campus.
We are thankful for how much they have been able to do to improve the campus with the funding provided.
This is a huge investment in strengthening community, faith, healing and hope in Kakuma! We are thankful to our financial partners who make it all possible.
Our refugee partner in Kakuma refugee camp sent us this photo today via WhatsApp.
I don't know who is more excited about the progress of the 3 classrooms we're building on the campus of KISOM!
KISOM has trained well over 1,000 people in Kakuma since 1997 - offering a 3 year training program for Church leaders in the camp and from the surrounding host community.
We are so thankful for the privilege of partnering with God in the answer to their prayers for this campus and buildings.
Thanks to everyone who has partnered with us on this project as we support the vision of United Refugee and Host Churches in Kakuma!
IAFR has been serving people in Kakuma refugee camp since 2010. About 195,000 people (mostly women and children) have found temporary refuge here from war, persecution and gross violations of human rights.
We visit Kakuma 2-3 times annually, during which time this blog is most active.
Visit the Kakuma page on the IAFR.org website to learn more!
We partner with United Refugee and Host Churches (URHC) - a refugee initiated association of over 160 churches from within the camp and surrounding host community.
We also partner with National Council of Churches Kenya (NCCK), an exceptional humanitarian agency.
