    Today is - a day to reflect on the lives of millions of individuals forced to leave everything behind by fear & violence - they can be families, they can be adults or children - in the end, they are human beings who deserve to be met with generosity and openness

    Thank you for saying this. More than 70% of refugees in Kenya are women and children. Almost half are children. The refugee crisis in Kenya is a crisis of the young. We need to welcome refugees in Kenya, stand with and seek solutions.
