Earlier this year, Raissa, one of our Community Specialists, participated in a Learning Journey to Kakuma in #Kenya with The Forum of Young Global Leaders. The trip showcased the significant economic contributions of refugees through social entrepreneurship and business within the camp. Despite the complex nature of the camp, the youth, who form the largest demographic, have succeeded in creating opportunities for themselves. In 2018, the first YGL journey to Kakuma resulted in the establishment of the GSC Kakuma Hub in partnership with UNHCR, YGLs, and local youth groups. Since then, the hub has launched six impactful community projects, including a comprehensive COVID-19 response. The Kakuma Hub amplifies the voices of youth refugees and challenges refugee narratives on global platforms.
