Changing lives in Kenya
The refugee operation in Kenya is of a mixed and protracted nature. Kenya is home to almost half a million refugees, of which 213,630 live in Daadab, 194,209 in Kakuma and Kalobeyei, and approximately 77,655 are dispersed in urban areas of Nairobi and its environs, Mombasa, Kitale, Eldoret and Nakuru among others.
The majority of these refugees living in Kenya have fled conflicts in Somalia and South Sudan. While most people fleeing from conflict in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement in Northern Kenya, Somali refugees flee to Dadaab located in Garissa County.
