Field notes, stories, perspectives and updates related to our ministry in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya
October 17, 2021
I was invited for a tasty Sudanese meal of beans, potato, meat, and fresh bread following the worship service in Kakuma refugee camp this morning.
While talking together, these women asked if I would take a photo of them – first as a group and then as individuals. They want to be seen by the church-at-large.
I had taken photos of several of these women many years ago. I showed them a meme I had made using one of the pictures (above). They were encouraged to know I had shared this with others to raise awareness of the refugee church – and to share the good news with others.

Return to the Kakuma BlogIAFR has been serving people in Kakuma refugee camp since 2010. 250,000 people (mostly women and children) have found temporary refuge here from war, persecution and gross violations of human rights.
We visit Kakuma 2 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.
