S05E06: SURVIVING VS LIVING. Long displacement in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya

Paglalarawan

In this episode we speak with Claude Jonkmans, founder of EmpowerVan, about their work delivering self-defence training in Kakuma Refugee Camp. Together, we explore what empowerment looks like in one of the world’s largest and most protracted refugee settings and why programs like this are critical in contexts marked by insecurity, poverty and limited opportunity. We unpack daily life in Kakuma, the realities of gender-based violence and how recent cuts to humanitarian aid are reshaping conditions inside the camp.
