Kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la idadi ya watu na afya ya uzazi UNFPA "Huu si uharibifu wa bahati mbaya  ni uhalifu wa kivita.

What if grief could actually help us do better humanitarian work? In this episode of The Better Samaritan Podcast, Dr. Jamie Aten and Kent Annan explore the idea of lament—or as Jamie calls it, “faithful grief”—and how it can reshape how we approach global challenges and humanitarian aid. Drawing from Kent's book Slow Kingdom Coming, personal stories, and research with Biola and the University of Connecticut, they break down how lament isn't just about sadness—it's about being honest with God through complaint, praise, and asking for help. They also share powerful moments from places like post-earthquake Haiti and the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where leaders model resilience and generosity in the face of scarcity. This episode offers a fresh take on grief, healing, and hope—and how small, faithful actions can lead to significant change in a hurting world. Jamie and Kent conclude with a preview of upcoming conversations on TBS with leaders in different humanitarian sectors, who will be discussing how federal and foreign aid cuts are impacting their area of focus and what may be next.

Le concept n'est plus tabou : présenter les réfugiés aux investisseurs comme des opportunités. Car après la phase d'urgence, l'aide humanitaire est loin de pouvoir répondre à tous les besoins de ces populations. Ce sont maintenant les opérateurs privés qu'on cherche à convaincre d'investir dans les camps.  Les camps de réfugiés sont toujours plus grands : plus de 100 000 Maliens à Mbera dans l'Est de la Mauritanie,  plus de 600 000 Congolais, Somaliens, Burundais et Soudanais du Sud à Kakuma et Dabaab au Kenya... Des réfugiés souvent laissés en marge des communautés locales et du développement.La Société financière internationale (IFC), membre du Groupe de la Banque mondiale, et l'agence des Nations unies pour les réfugiés ont signé un partenariat il y a deux ans pour attirer des investissements privés. Cheikh Oumar Silla, vice-président de l'IFC, déclare : « Pour pouvoir agir dans ce secteur, il y a plusieurs facteurs. Il faut s'adresser à l'écosystème qui donne l'autorisation de pouvoir travailler avec ou d'employer des réfugiés. Mais il y a aussi une question de perception. Donc, un changement de mentalité est nécessaire. À partir du moment où des institutions comme l'IFC regardent un projet, la perception du risque est fortement réduite. »À lire aussiMauritanie: dans le camp de Mbera, l'investissement des réfugiés pour faire face aux besoinsRenewia étend son réseauCertaines entreprises ont déjà franchi le pas. Douglas Cox est américain. Basé au Rwanda, il est chargé du développement des projets de Renewia Energy en Afrique. Son entreprise vend de l'électricité aux réfugiés du camp de Kakuma, où seulement 8% des habitants sont connectés au réseau national :« Quand tu regardes la taille de certains camps, cela semble évident, explique-t-il. On a ici des centaines de milliers de personnes. Elles développent forcément des activités économiques. Leur fournir les services qui n'émergent pas naturellement ou que les ONG n'apportent pas représente une vraie opportunité. »Un accès à l'électricité qui change, tout insiste l'entrepreneur : ouvertures de cinémas, d'ateliers de couture et même de banques etc. La vie du camp est transformée et Renewia ne cesse d'étendre son réseau : « En 2019, on a d'abord raccordé 500 habitations et commerces à l'électricité. Cela a ensuite été étendu à 3 000. Et en mai prochain, notre objectif est d'atteindre 19 000 connexions, ce qui représente un tiers du camp. »Difficile de recruter dans les campsAprès avoir bénéficié de l'appui des coopérations allemande et américaine, Douglas Cox estime aujourd'hui qu'il n'a plus besoin d'aide. Mais pour beaucoup d'investisseurs, en dépit des efforts des institutions, les obstacles à l'investissement privé demeurent. Il n'est parfois pas toujours possible d'employer des réfugiés. Dans d'autres cas, ceux-ci ne peuvent même détenir un commerce ou une simple puce de téléphone.Pourtant, la Banque mondiale l'assure, étude à l'appui : la présence d'un camp loin de nuire à la croissance de la région qui l'accueille, est plutôt de nature à la booster.

Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma. Rebecca Deng’s journey from the war-torn villages of South Sudan to becoming a U.S. citizen and international advocate is nothing short of inspiring. As one of the 89 Lost Girls of Sudan, her story represents the resilience of those who have faced unimaginable horrors and still found a way to thrive. While much attention has been given to the Lost Boys of Sudan, Rebecca’s experience sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of the girls who survived similar atrocities.

The interview with Rebecca Deng is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website and platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Outbreak of War and the "Lost Kids of Sudan" The Second Sudanese Civil War, one of the longest civil conflicts in history, began in 1983 when the Sudanese government imposed Sharia law and revoked the autonomy of the southern region. This decision reignited tensions that had been simmering since the First Sudanese Civil War (1955–1972). The effects were catastrophic: mass displacement, famine, atrocities committed by all sides, and an estimated two million deaths. The war ultimately led to the creation of the Republic of South Sudan in 2011. Children bore the brunt of this brutal conflict. Many were victims of violence, flogging, and even placed in leg-irons. Schools were destroyed, and thousands of young boys and girls were forced to flee their homes. While the "Lost Boys of Sudan" became widely known for their perilous journey to Ethiopia and later to Kenya, the "Lost Girls of Sudan," like Rebecca Deng, faced equally harrowing experiences, compounded by gender-based violence and exploitation. Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma. Read the supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. Rebecca’s Early Life and Escape Rebecca Deng, a member of South Sudan’s Dinka tribe, was just four years old when her village was attacked. Forced to flee from gunfire, she embarked on a terrifying journey that would span years and continents. Alongside other children, she faced hunger, illness, and life-threatening predators, both human and animal. Their path to safety was fraught with dangers, from militia attacks to natural threats and disease. By the early 1990s, Rebecca and other survivors reached the Kakuma Refugee Camp in northern Kenya. Life in Kakuma was harsh; the camp was overcrowded, resources were scarce, and the trauma of war lingered. For the girls, the challenges were even greater. Many were fostered into families for protection, a practice rooted in South Sudanese culture. However, this often led to further exploitation, with some girls being sold into marriage at a young age to secure resources for their foster families. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Life in the Kakuma Refugee Camp Rebecca spent eight years in Kakuma, where she began to rebuild her life despite the overwhelming odds. Education became a beacon of hope. Though resources were limited, she seized every opportunity to learn, determined to rise above her circumstances. Her resilience and dedication eventually led to her being among the 89 Lost Girls who were resettled in the United States in 2000. Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma. The resettlement process was not easy. Unlike the Lost Boys, who were recognized as unaccompanied minors and prioritized for resettlement, many Lost Girls were overlooked. Their integration into foster families made their journey to the U.S. even more remarkable. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. A New Beginning in the United States At the age of 15, Rebecca arrived in the United States, a land vastly different from the refugee camp she had known for most of her life. The transition was challenging, she had to learn English, adapt to a new culture, and navigate the complexities of American society. But Rebecca’s determination never wavered. She embraced every educational opportunity and worked tirelessly to build a new life. Rebecca became a U.S. citizen, marking a significant milestone in her journey. Her experiences fueled a passion for advocacy, particularly for women and children affected by war. She pursued higher education and eventually authored her memoir, "What They Meant for Evil: How a Lost Girl of Sudan Found Healing, Peace, and Purpose in the Midst of Suffering."

Balancing family life with her advocacy work is no small feat, but Rebecca approaches both with the same resilience and dedication that have defined her journey. Her story is a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to overcome even the most harrowing circumstances. The trauma of her early years remains a part of her, but it does not define her. Instead, it fuels her mission to support others who have faced similar adversities. The Ongoing Crisis in Sudan Rebecca’s story is not just a reflection of the past but a mirror to the present. The ongoing conflict in Sudan continues to displace millions and claim lives. According to the United Nations, over 6.6 million Sudanese have been internally displaced, with more than 2 million fleeing to neighboring countries like South Sudan, Chad, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and Ethiopia. The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations estimates that casualties could be as high as 150,000. Rebecca’s advocacy highlights these ongoing issues, reminding the world that the plight of refugees is far from over. Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma.

From hip-hop and dancehall to r&b and Gengetone, the city's cultural melting pot is coming to a boil at a time of political change when artists are finding their voices to speak out against government corruption and champion social justice movements. We meet artists on the front line--Juliani, Karun and Blinky Bill—and take a side trip to Kakuma, one of Africa's largest refugee camps where music, including hop-hop, is literaliy a matter of survival.

A project to turn Kenya's refugee camps - some of the largest in the world - into self-reliant communities where refugees can live, work, and set up businesses among their local hosts was recently launched. Host Obi Anyadike asks Victor Nyamori, a researcher and adviser for Refugee and Migrants' Rights at Amnesty International, what he thinks of this idea, dubbed the Shirika Plan. Given his work on legal protection for Kenya's refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps, is he optimistic that it will improve their lives?   What's Unsaid is a bi-weekly podcast by The New Humanitarian where we explore open secrets and uncomfortable conversations around the world's conflicts and disasters.   

Forced displacement is a development challenge, not only a humanitarian concern. As of September 2023, 114 million people were displaced, and this number continues to grow as conflict and insecurity rise across the globe. Most refugees are hosted by developing countries, and the issues around support and integration of refugee communities are often deeply political.In this episode— the second in our special series on how to end poverty on a livable planet—we're asking the question: How can we better support the world's growing number of refugees and their host communities? What economic benefits can refugee integration bring to societies?Tune in to hear the real-life experience of Abdullahi Mire, winner of the 2023 UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award, who grew up in one of the largest refugee camps in the world and is now a champion of refugee education; and Nancy Karambo Riungu, a Kenyan entrepreneur working with refugees. We also get insights from the UN Refugee Agency's Raouf Mazou and The World Bank's Xavier Devictor on how humanitarian agencies, development institutions and the private sector can better support refugees. Stay with us until the end of the episode to catch the reading of a poem by Kinshasa- born, British poet JJ Bola, who reflects on life as a refugee.Tell us what you think of our podcast here >>>.

Book Media Storm LIVE at the London Podcast Festival, Saturday 16th Sep at 7pm: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/Aid budgets have been hit hard by Covid and economic upheaval. But the hardest hit of all are women and girls. Just last week, UK headlines revealed the government's slashes to humanitarian aid mean hundreds of thousands more women will face unsafe abortions and deaths from pregnancy - by their own assessment.Why are women worse affected?Because crisis is sexist. When disaster strikes, women are 17 times more likely to die than men. But they are underrepresented in decision-making about how aid is distributed, and so the solutions rarely reflect this.For World Humanitarian Day, Media Storm has partnered with the International Rescue Committee to platform the lived experience of women in disaster zones— not just as victims, but as leaders of solutions. The IRC makes a conscious effort to place women at the centre of emergency responses, and has connected us with pioneers in Yemen, Pakistan and the world's biggest refugee camp: Kakuma, in Kenya. We also hear voices from Afghanistan, Nigeria and North American indigenous communities, who reveal how conflict and climate change disproportionately impact women and girls.We are joined in the studio by Amnesty ambassador Nazanin Boniadi (who also fights for justice in Middle Earth - see The Rings of Power), to look at how a male-dominated mainstream media and Eurocentric headlines can hide the realities facing women of the world. We look at the unique case of Iran, where women have revolted following the state murder of Jina Mahsa Amini, and the press' crucial role in fighting for human rights for everybody.Buy the team a coffee on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MediaStormPodcast The episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia).

Hii leo katika jarida la Habar iza UN, mwenyeji wako Leah Mushi anamulika haki za binadamu za watu wa jamii ya asili, haki ya elimu kwa watoto wakimbizi, saratani ya shingo ya kizazi na hatimaye jinsi kampeni ya boma kwa boma inasongesha utoaji chanjo kwa jamii ya wamasai nchini Tanzania.Watu wa jamii ya asili wanaweza kutuongoza katika harakati za kukabiliana na misukosuko na majanga yanayokabili zama zetu hivi sasa, amesema hii leo  huko mjini Geneva, Uswisi, Kamishna Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu haki za binadamu Volker Türk akihutubia mkutano wa 16 wa wataalamu wa haki za watu wa jamii ya asili.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF linashirikiana na wadau kuisaidia serikali ya Kenya katika kaunti ya Turkana kuhakikisha elimu ya awali inawafikia watoto wote hususan kwenye kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma.Katika makala, Anold Kayanda anatupeleka nchini Tanzania ambako Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Ulimwenguni (WHO) kwa kushirikiana na serikali nchini Tanzania linafanya juhudi za kutoa elimu ya uchunguzi wa mapema ili kuzuia saratani ya shingo ya kizazi kwa wanawake nchini humo.Na mashinani, Edward Ngobei, Mzee kiongozi wa kimasai wilayani Monduli mkoani Arusha nchini Tanzania, anaeleza jinsi yeye pamoja na jamii za eneo hilo wamepokea chanjo mbalimbali kupitia kampeni ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani WHO na wadau wake inayopeleka huduma za chanjo mashinani. Karibu!

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF linashirikiana na wadau kuisaidia serikali ya Kenya katika kaunti ya Turkana kuhakikisha elimu ya awali inawafikia watoto wote hususan kwenye kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma. Flora Nducha anatupasha zaidi katika taarifa hii.Asubuhi mapema katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma, ni wakati wa watoto kwenda shule tayari kuanza siku kwa masomo darasani “Mimi jina langu ni Nyota Plamedy Baraka nina miaka sita, napenda kusoma, napenda wageni , napenda vitabu na nawapenda marafiki zangu.”Nyota ni miongoni mwa mamia ya watoto wakimbizi kutoka nchi mbalimbali walioko katika kambi hii na baba yake Baraka Munange mkimbizi mwenye watoto watano anasema elimu hii ni ya muhimu na ndio tegemeo pekee la mustakbali bora kwa watoto wao “Watoto wangu wanasoma shule ya msingi ya Morning Star , na shule ya chekechea ni nzuri sana kwa mwanzo wa mtoto kwa sababu inamfanya mtoto ajue kuongea, ajifunze kuandika na zaidi.”Kambini hapa kuna shule nyingi ambazo kwa msaada wa ufadhili kutoka kwa kanisa la Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints Charities, UNICEF inaweza kuhakikisha elimu inatolewa ikiwepo katika shule ya msingi ya Kalemchuch “Jina langu ni Joyce Lotenga niña umri wa miaka 8, nasoma katika shule ya Kalemchuch.”Joyce ni mmoja kati ya watoto tisa wa Francis Lomoi “Mimi ni babaye Joyce, Joyce yuko darasa la pili katika shule ya Kalemchuch kwa sababu tunakubali watoto wakimbizi kusoma pamoja na wengine, ili wote waweze kusoma kwenye shule pamoja ndio maana watoto wamekuwa wengi”Watoto hawa wanafaidika na elimu chini ya program inayoendeshwa na serikali ya “Kujifunza Maisha yote” na mbali ya elimu pia wanashiriki shughuli mbalimbali za michezo ikiwemo kuimba.Kwa mujibu wa serikali ya kaunti ya Turkana, ukame umekuwa changamoto kubwa kwa watoto hawa wanaotoka mataifa mbalimbali kupata elimu lakini jitihada zinafanyika.Afisa wa elimu wa UNICEF Kenya Sarah Musengya paul anasela licha ya changamoto hizo “Hatua kubwa zimepigwa katika elimu ya awali kwenye kaunti ya Turkana, katika usaili wa watoto sasa ikiwa imefikia asilimia 166 ambayo ni juu ya kiwango cha wastan cha serikali, pili tumepiga hatua katika vifaa vya kusomea kama madawati na viti na vifaa vingine ambavyo vimewafanya wanafunzi kufurahia kuendelea kusoma. Lakini bado kuna changamoto katika kaunti ya Turkana ikiwemo mlo shuleni katika shule zinazotoa mlo kiwango bado ni kidogo hakikidhi mahitaji ya watoto hata wa chekechea.”Kwa wazazi elimu hii inayotolewa ni baraka na matumaini kwa watoto wao “Mimi mzazi nikishakuja nyumbani nawakuta watoto wanazungumza walichofundishwa shuleni ni kiytu kimoja ambacho kinanifurahisha sana na kuonyesha kwamba watoto wanasoma vizuri.”UNICEF limeahidi kuongeza juhudi zaidi hasa za kupata wafadhili ili kuhakikisha changamoto hizo zinatatuliwa.

Hii leo jaridani machafuko nchini DRC na mjadala kuhusu malaengo ya maendeleo endelevu unaoendelea hapa Makao Makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa. Makala tunasalia hapa hapa makao makuu na mashinani tunakupeleka nchini Tanzania, kulikoni? Hali ya kusikitisha inajitokeza Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC, ambapo ghasia zilizozuka upya kati ya makundi yasiyo ya kiserikali yenye silaha na vikosi vya serikali zimerejea katika majimbo ya Kivu Kaskazini, Kivu Kusini na Ituri zikiambatana na ukatili mkubwa dhidi ya wanawake na wasichana na kutawanya maelfu ya watu , limeonya leo shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR.Malengo ya maendeleo endelevu SDGs yanahimiza kuwa wakati wa utekelezaji wake hakuna mtu anapaswa kuachwa nyuma.   Makala tunasalia hapa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa ambapo Jukwaa la ngazi ya juu la kisiasa kuhusu malengo ya maendeleo endelevu HLPF limeingia siku yake ya 5. Tunaendelea kuzungumza na washiriki wa Jukwaa hili na leo ni zamu ya Lawrence Oluwaseun Adeniyi ambaye ni afisa wa Jumuiya ya Kimataifa ya Wachechemuzi wa Amani Ulimwenguni anayehusika na Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu.Na katika mashinani tuatelekea Arusha nchini Tanzania kusikia ujumbe wa mhudumu wa afya ambaye anatembea boma kwa boma mashinani kutoa huduma za chanjo.Mwenyeji wako ni Flora Nducha, karibu!

Malengo ya maendeleo endelevu SDGs yanahimiza kuwa wakati wa utekelezaji wake hakuna mtu anapaswa kuachwa nyuma. Tukiwa katika ulimwengu wa kidijitali jamii za wakimbizi zilizopo kwenye makambi zinafikiwaje kwenye masuala kama ya kupata elimu ya kidijitali ili wasiachwe nyuma. Nchini Kenya katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma mshichana Deline anafanya juhudi zote kuhakikisha wasichana wengine hawaachwi nyuma. Katika video ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa linalojihusisha na masuala ya wakimbizi UNHCR inamuonesha Deline, ambaye ni mkimbizi kutoka nchini Rwanda akijiandaa kuanza safari yake ya kuelekea kazini. Anasema “Ninaenda kazini, na hii ndio njia ninayopita kila siku ninavyoenda kazini, anasema Deline huku akisimama njiani na kusalimia majirani zake. Hawa ni majirani zangu, na kisha anapanda pikipiki kuelekea kazini. Deline anaendelea kueleza "Ninafanya kazi katika shirika liitwalo Solidarity iniatiative for refugees, shirika la kijamii linalojihusisha na kuwajengea uwezo wanawake kuweza kutumia teknolojia ya kidijitali ili kuboresha maisha yao. Tunafanya kazi na wanawake wa jamii za wenyeji na jamii za wakimbizi tukiwapa ujuzi wa kidigitali.” Mwalimu huyu kijana anasema kitu anachopenda zaidi kuhusu ajira yake ni fursa aliyonayo ya kuwajengea uwezo wasichana wengine kuchangamkia fursa ziletwazo na ujuzi wa kidigitali. Mbali na kuwa mwalimu Deline pia ni kiongozi “Nina timu ninayoiongoza na majukumu yangu yamegawanyika katika makundi matatu, usimamizi wa watu, usimamizi wa mradi, na usimamizi wa kituo na hayo ni baadhi ya majukumu ninayo yafanya.”Na baada ya kumaliza kufundisha na siku ndefu ya majukumu yake, Deline anahakikisha kila kitu kipo sawa kwa ajili ya darasa jingine hapo kesho na kisha anafunga kituo tayari kurejea nyumbani. “Asanteni wote kwakuwa nami leo katika siku hii hapa katika kutuo chetu kilichopo kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma, tutaonana siku nyingine, kwaherini“

Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia Migogoro nchini Ukraine na wakimbizi nchini Kenya. Makala tunakupeleka nchini Tanznai na mashinani tunasalia hapa hapa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa, kulikoni?  Mratibu wa masuala ya kibinadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa nchini Ukraine Matthew Hollingworth amelaani vikali shambulio lililofanywa na Urusi kwenye eneo la Kherson lililoathirika vibaya na mafuriko ya bwawa la Kakhovka, na kukatili maisha ya mfanyakazi wa ukoaji na kujeruhi wengine.Serikali ya Kenya inaendesha mradi wa “shiriki” ambao unawapa fursa wakimbizi wanaosihi katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma iliyoko katika kaunti ya Turkana nchini humo kujitegemea kwa kufanya kilimo cha mbogamboga kupitia chama cha ushirika wa wakulima. Serikali hiyo imetenga ekari 21katika kambi ya Kakuma ili kutumika katika mradi huo ambao sio tu unawapa lishe bora wakimbizi, matumaini na kipato lakini pia umekuwa neema kwa jamii za wenyeji. Katika makala Mwandishi wa redio washirika wetu MVIWATA FM ya Tanzania anatupeleka visiwani Zanzibar ambako umezinduliwa mradi wa AliVE awamu ya pili unaolenga kupima stadi za maisha na maadili kwa wanafunzi Watoto wa umri wa miaka 6 hadi 12.Na mashinani leo ikiwa ni siku ya Yoda duniani      tunarejea makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa kusikia ujumbe kutoka kwa Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja huo alieleza kwa nini yoga ni muhimu katika maisha ya mwanadamu.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

Serikali ya Kenya inaendesha mradi wa “shiriki” ambao unawapa fursa wakimbizi wanaosihi katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma iliyoko katika kaunti ya Turkana nchini humo kujitegemea kwa kufanya kilimo cha mbogamboga kupitia chama cha ushirika wa wakulima. Serikali hiyo imetenga ekari 21katika kambi ya Kakuma ili kutumika katika mradi huo ambao sio tu unawapa lishe bora wakimbizi, matumaini na kipato lakini pia umekuwa neema kwa jamii za wenyeji.Katika makazi ya Kalobeyei kambini Kakuma maisha yanaendelea kama kawaida kwa maelfu ya wakimbizi yakighubikwa na pilika nyingi kikiwemo kilimo cha mchicha, Sukuma na mbogamboga zingine chini ya mradi wa shiriki. Abdulazizi Lugazo ni mkimbizi kutoka Somalia na mwenyekiti wa chama hicho cha ushirika wa wakulima anasema, Abdulazizi anasema mradi huu ulianza kidogokidogo lakini sasa umepanuka na kujumuisha wakimbizi wengi zaidi, Kenya imekuwa mwenyeji wa wakimbizi kwa zaidi ya miaka 30 na inaamini kuwapa fursa hii wakimbizi sio tu inawapa matumaini badi inawajengea uwezo. Mkimbizi kutoka Congo DRC anayeshiriki mradi huu Muhawe Selene ambaye ni mchuuzi wa mbogamboga sokoni anaafiki, Kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR mtazamo kama huu wa Kenya unapaswa kuigwa na mataifa mengine kwani unawajumuisha wakimbizi na kusaidia kuleta utangamno baina ya wakimbizi na jamii zinazowahifadhi.Kwa Abdulazizi mradi huu umemfungulia njia mpya ya matumaini akiwa mbali na nyumbani.UNHCR Imeishukuru Kenya kwa kuwapa matumaini wakimbizi hawa wakiwa mbali na nyumbani, na Kenya inasema huu ni mwanzo tu kwani iko katika mipango ya kutekeleza sera ambazo ni bunifu na jumuishi zitakazowaruhusu baadhi ya wakimbizi hao nusu milioni na waomba hifadhi nchini humo kufanya kazi na kuishi na Wakenya.

Ikiwa leo ni Siku ya Wakimbizi Duniani tutawasikia wakimbizi wa ndani DRC wanavyozungumzia harakati za Umoja wa Mataifa katika kutekeleza Kauli mbiu ya mwaka huu:"Matumaini Mbali na Nyumbani.".Pia utasikia habari kwa ufupi zikiangazia ujumbe wa katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Antonio Guterres kwa siku hii ya wakimbizi duniani akihimiza mshikamano na ushirikiano na wakimbizi. Naye kamishna wa wakimbizi Filippo Grandi ameadhimisha siku hii akiwa katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma iliyoko nchini kenya ambapo ametoa wito kwa wadau kuunga mkono wakimbizi lakini pia kuzisaidia nchi zinazopokea na kuwahifadhi wakimbizi kama Kenya. 

Winnie grew up enjoying the simplicity of farm life in rural Kenya; not one for the business of the city, she found her peace among the crops at her grandmother's farm. As an adult, though, Winnie traded the serene country life for one of turmoil; but it is within that life that she found her center. Kakuma and Dadaab are two of the largest refugee camps in Kenya. In fact, Dadaab used to be the largest camp in the world. As a humanitarian aid worker in the camps, you live alongside those displaced and disavowed. Winnie's experience working in the camps are what she carries closest to her heart, they fuel her desire for justice and restoration.At the time of the recording, Winnie was the Program Director for Neema, a nonprofit dedicated to the holistic thriving of young, vulnerable women in western Kenya. You can read more about Neema here.Winnie is also a published author. While she dreams of publishing her novel one day, she contributed to a collection of short stories called Nairobi Noir. You can purchase Nairobi Noir here or wherever books are sold._______________________Follow The Human Experience on InstagramVisit The Human Experience websiteSend me an email at TheHXPod@gmail.com

Key QuotesI realised that I had actually put aside my dream and so I rekindled it, and moved from my clinical practice to work for Kenya Red Cross. And I never looked back.My father was a mathematics teacher in the fifties, and my mother was an English teacher. And what they imparted in me was the importance of education.I derive great pleasure at seeing people just develop. Context is very important for leadership, and the way in which we respond to the world is largely influenced by our own perception of the world. I've always admired those kind of leaders that have clarity of thought, and clarity of action. Sometimes it's feast or famine. You have too much money within a short time when disasters occur. And then once the disasters disappear, you don't have any money.If I do my part and leave somebody feeling that it was useful for me to be in their lives then I think that's good enough.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.Read the transcription for this episode at our websiteConnect with Access to Inspiration on Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : LinkedIn : Read our Impact ReportSound Editor: Matias de Ezcurra (he/him).

Au Kenya, le parcours est semé d'embûches pour les réfugiés. Le pays accueille plus de 500 000 déplacés, majoritairement originaires du Soudan du Sud et de la Somalie. La plupart vivent dans les camps de Kakuma et Dadaab, et dépendent largement de l'aide humanitaire. Des réfugiés qui ont aussi le plus grand mal à trouver un travail ou scolariser leurs enfants. Certains d'entre eux vont même s'établir dans la capitale kényane pour tenter de trouver de meilleures conditions de vie. Une ONG, GiveDirectly, a décidé d'appuyer ces réfugiés urbains en leur versant une somme d'argent… Les bénéficiaires n'ont pas à la rembourser et peuvent la dépenser comme ils le souhaitent en attendant que le Kenya leur ouvre de nouveaux droits.  De notre correspondante à Nairobi, Josephine a grandi dans le camp de Kakuma dans le nord du Kenya. Cette réfugiée sud-soudanaise a fui pour raisons sécuritaires alors qu'elle était enfant. La jeune femme de 28 ans habite désormais dans la capitale kényane et y a lancé un commerce de couture, depuis son petit appartement. Elle vend ses créations à des amis ou des connaissances. Dans sa cuisine, les tissus de différentes couleurs s'empilent. Son balcon a été transformé en atelier. « Ici, c'est mon bureau où j'ai ma machine à coudre. Je travaille sur une commande pour une famille de Kakuma qui part aux États-Unis. Je leur fabrique une housse de coussin, mais je peux aussi faire des vêtements en tissu ankara ou des écharpes en tie and dye, un motif obtenu avec de la teinture par nouage. » Une insertion économique compliquée Josephine a reçu 100 000 shillings kényans de l'ONG GiveDirectly, soit près de 800 euros. Elle a d'abord payé les soins médicaux de sa maman. Le reste, elle l'a utilisé pour développer son projet de couture, principalement acheter des tissus. La jeune Sud-Soudanaise a dû arrêter ses études en santé communautaire, par manque d'argent pour payer les frais de scolarité. En tant que réfugiée, l'insertion économique est pleine d'embuches. « C'est très difficile de trouver un emploi, on nous demande un permis de travail et, avec la carte de réfugié, je n'en ai pas », déplore Joséphine. « Le dernier emploi que j'ai eu, je n'étais pas payée comme les employés lambdas, je recevais juste une indemnisation. En tant que réfugié, nous ne pouvons pas non plus ouvrir de compte en banque. Pareil pour mpesa, la monnaie mobile, il faut demander à quelqu'un de nous ouvrir une ligne. » Des changements qui tardent à venir Une loi a été signée par l'ancien président Uhuru Kenyatta en novembre 2021 pour apporter plus de droits aux réfugiés, dont un meilleur accès à l'emploi. Mais pour les réfugiés, les changements tardent à arriver. « Il reste encore beaucoup à faire », explique Stephen Kalongo, le directeur Kenya de GiveDirectly. « Des discussions sont en cours pour répondre à plusieurs problématiques qui permettraient la mise en œuvre de cette loi. Par exemple : quand on parle d'intégration, comment faire reconnaître les diplômes que les réfugiés ont obtenus dans d'autres pays ? » En attendant, Josephine continue de développer son petit commerce de couture avec lequel elle fait vivre le reste de sa famille, restée au camp de Kakuma. Et elle rêve de faire venir sa petite sœur, encore adolescente, pour qu'elle étudie à Nairobi et quitte les classes surchargées du camp de réfugiés.

Makala inatupeleka kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma nchini Kenya kusikia simulizi ya msichana mnufaika wa mradi wa Girl Shine na Mashinani tutaelekea nchini Uganda kwa mkimbizi mwanaharakati wa mazingiraBaada ya mfululizo wa mashauriano na wataalamu wa kimataifa, hatimaye shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya ulimwenguni, WHO litaanza kutumia jina MPOX badala ya Monkeypox au homa ya Ndui ya Nyani kufuatia mapendekezo ya kubadilishwa kwa jina hilo kwa maelezo ya kwamba lilikuwa linasababisha mambo kadhaa ikiwemo unyanyapaa.Michuano ya fainali za Kombe la Dunia kwa mchezo wa soka kwa wanaume inaendelea nchini Qatar huko Mashariki ya Kati.

Mizozo na umaskini wa kupindukia kwenye mazingira ya uhitaji mkubwa wa msaada wa kibinadamu huwaweka wasichana katika hatari kubwa ya kukumbwa na ukatili na kunyanyaswa. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kushughulikia masuala ya wanawake, UN WOMEN kwa kutambua hilo linatekeleza miradi katika kambi za wakimbizi za Dadaab na Kakuma nchini Kenya ili kuwajengea uwezo wasichana barubaru ili hatimaye waweza kuandaa mustakabali bora wa maisha yao. Girls Shine ni moja ya miradi hiyo kupitia mradi mkubwa wa LEAP unaoungwa mkono na serikali ya Japan tangu mwaka 2018. Wasichana wakimbizi na wenyeji wananufaika na mradi huu na sasa wanapaza sauti kama katika Makala hii iliyoandaliwa na UN Women barani Afrika na kusimuliwa na Thelma Mwadzaya.

Kamishna Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi, UNHCR, Filippo Grandi ambaye amezuru Kenya ameshuhudia ni kwa kiasi gani miradi inayoIenga wakimbizi na wenyeji inasaidia sio tu kuinua vipato vya pande zote bali pia kujenga utangamano, maelewano na amani kwenye makazi ya wakimbizi. Taarifa ya Thelma Mwadzaya inafafanua zaidi.Mapokezi ya Kamishna Mkuu wa UNHCR Filippo Grandi katika mtambo wa mdogo wa kuzalisha umeme kwa kutumia nishati ya sola kwenye makazi ya wakimbizi ya Kalobeyei nje kidogo ya mji wa Kakuma, kaunti ya Turkana nchini Kenya.Bwana Grandi anapatiwa maelezo kuwa mradi huu wa sola unaofanikishwa na Benki ya Dunia unawezesha wenyeji na wakimbizi kujikwamua kiuchumi na kijamii kwa kupata umeme wa uhakika kwa saa 24.Makazi ya wakimbizi ya Kalobeyei, ni mradi uliozinduliwa mwaka 2018 ili kutekeleza kivitendo azma ya kuwezesha wakimbizi kujitegemea, kujumuishwa katika huduma za kitaifa na kutumia pamoja na wenyeji huduma za kijamii.Akiwa hapa Bwana Grandi ameshuhudia kushamiri kwa biashara za wakimbizi na wenyeji.Joel, mkimbizi kutoka Burundi ana duka la kunyoa nywele na pia anauza vipodozi, “Nilifungua duka kama hili kwa sababu niliona kila siku watu wakihitaji vitu kama hivi wanaenda Kakuma. Hivyo nikafikiria nikaona nikifungua duka kama hili tutafaidika sote wakazi wa Kalobeyei, badala waende Kakuma. Ndio maana nikafungua duka hili la vipodozi vya wanawake. Stima imenisaidia sana kwa duka langu la kinyozi. Mpango wangu mwakani ni kununua vifaa vingine vikubwa vya kunyolea ili nifike kiwango ninachotaka.”Irene Kai mwenyeji mjasiriamali anaonekana akiwasha taa iliyoungwanishwa kwenye mradi wa nishati ya sola huku akiweka vinywaji kwenye jokofu anasema.“Nashukuru sana kwani tangu wakimbizi waletwe hapa tumekuwa pamoja nao, manake hili eneo awali lilikuwa ni msitu na hakuna mtu alikuwa anaishi. Sasa hivi tunafanya biashara na wakimbizi. Na tangu huu umeme uletwe, kazi yetu imekuwa rahisi. Mimi nikiwa mfanyabiashara wa vinywaji, nauza  maji, soda, ninaweza pia kukamua matunda. Ninaweza kuchaji simu, redio yangu pia inaimba, televisheni inawaka, na nyumba nzima ina umeme kwa saa 24. Tunafanya biashara na wakimbizi na tuko na amani nao.”Kamishna Mkuu Grandi baada ya kuona na kusikia akafunguka, “Mwaka 2018, Umoja wa Mataifa ulipitisha Mkataba wa kimataifa wa wakimbizi. Hii ni mbinu ambayo Umoja wa Mataifa inapatia nchi wanachama kusimamia njia bunifu, zenye kanuni na majawabu mujarabu ya mienendo mikubwa ya wakimbizi. Naweza kusema kuwa uwepo wangu wa siku nzima Kakuma na hapa Kalobeyei kaunti ya Turkana na kwa ukarimu mkubwa na uwazi wa mamlaka za hapa na ushirikiano wa wadau wote, nilichoshuhudia ni utekelezaji wa Mkataba wa kimataifa wa wakimbizi.”Akiwa Kenya, Kamishna Mkuu Grandi alikutana pia kwa mara ya kwanza na Rais William Ruto wa Kenya ambapo amesisitiza tena azma ya UNHCR ya kushirikiana na serikali mpya ya Kenya katika kulinda na kusaka majawabu kwa wakimbizi sambamba na kuhamasisha usaidizi wa maendeleo kwa jamii za wenyeji.Halikadhalika alitumia fursa hiyo kushukuru Kenya kwa kuendelea kupokea na kuhifadhi wakimbizi.

“I aspire to a world where everyone, everywhere lives a life of dignity and young people have a safe space to lead and drive positive change in their communities”. In George's last episode as a Podcast host, he chats with Nhial Deng. Nhial has been a refugee for nearly half of his life. Nhial arrived at Kenya's Kakuma Refugee Camp in 2010, at only 11 years of age. Fleeing his village in Ethiopia after an armed militia attack, he walked hundreds of kilometres for days, alone and without family, to reach Kenya. A large camp in Turkana County in northwestern Kenya, Kakuma is home to around 160,000 people. It was built in 1992 following conflict and unrest in Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Today, Nhial heads the organisation Refugee Youth Peace Ambassadors, which aims to promote peace in Kakuma, and also delivers mentorship and empowerment activities for young people. Nhial also works to shift the narrative on refugee issues by amplifying the voices of other young people in the camp. He seeks to empower youth as the leaders of today that they are to make a difference. George chats to Nhial as he waits in a hotel quarantine, before starting his studies in Journalism and International Studies at Huron University College in Canada.
