Stop treating refugees as passive recipients; it's time to talk real agency.
Catch Evans Abondo and Baruani Mbaruku in The Situation Room as they break down how Refugee-Led Organisations are driving genuine independence and economic self-reliance.
#TheSituationRoom
Evans Abondo: Some refugees have accessed SHA using refugee ID cards but not the other six documents. The system only recognises refugee ID cards, which are difficult to obtain.

Evans Abondo: Pamoja Trust has helped refugee-led organisations design programmes that address both host community and refugee needs.

For decades, relief was about short-term handouts. Today, we flip the script to long-term agency.
Evans Abondo & Baruani Mbaruku joined us in The Situation Room to break down how refugee-led groups are claiming self-reliance & reshaping local economies.

We framed the moment the AJS Kisumu, AJS Secretariat from Nairobi, @UNODC and a Probation Officer visited the Kisumu Children Remand and gave the little champions legal hope.
