🤝We’re proud to partner with @NCIC_Kenya , @GenPrev , and @DRSKenya in advancing dialogue and trust in Kakuma.

Today’s engagement with refugee leaders is a critical step toward strengthening social cohesion, addressing grievances, and co-creating solutions ahead of the joint intercommunal forum.

Peace is built together—through inclusive dialogue, early action, and shared commitment. #AmaniKwaGround
