On this #WorldRefugeeDay, we recognize the resilience of refugee women and girls.

@UNFPA dignity kits provide essential items like soap, menstrual pads, and underwear to support their sexual and reproductive health after being displaced by crises.

At Tarach Secondary School in #Kakuma, Sports icons Oliech & Samba Mjomba graced the school grounds to connect with young girls passionate about sports. Their stories, advice, & support are lighting a path of hope & perseverance for all. #worldrefugeeday @UNFPAKen @UNHCR_Kenya

Together with our partners @filmaidkenya, @RESCUEorg, and @KenyaRedCross, we're hosting a #SportsForProtection tournament in Kalobeyei courtesy of the Olympic Refugee Foundation.

The project aims to use sports to reduce vulnerability to #GBV among adolescent girls and boys.

[John Wafula @namengeson]

On #WorldRefugeeDay @UNFPAKen and partners invoke the power of sport to build solidarity between refugees and the host community in addressing GBV and promoting the well-being of young people. @vansHalfcab @filmaidkenya

What does a resilient future look like for African women + girls? the @UNFPA training explores the critical link between SRHR + a world that's just, equitable + sustainable for all! We are taking a dive in building resilient health and systems strengthening

#ClimateChange disproportionately impacts development efforts, forcing countries to divert resources for adaption. Sustainable development therefore requires investment💰 in climate action.
Stay tunned in the @UNFPAKen training in 🇰🇪 #SRHR #Africa

Research notes that there is direct impact of heat + neonatal health, in fact, an increase📈 of 1 Degree Celsius corresponds with a 6% still life births.
And there is more from @UNFPA 's research on the #climatechange impact on #maternal health.

Together with @filmaidkenya, @KenyaRedCross, @CCGD_KE , @PWJ_Kenya and other patners, we have today officially launched the #JPD64, a 1-year project funded by @JapaninKenya. This is a resilience-building project to ensure sustained provision and uptake of #SRH and #GBV services.

[UNFPA in Kenya @UNFPAKen]

The #JPD64 project aims to reach 826,413 people in @GarissaGov, @PressTana, @TurkanaCountyKE and @Mandera_cgvt and will help in the reduction of climate change-induced SRH and GBV risks for vulnerable populations including those in refugee camps.
