Kukuma Refugee Camp - Northern Kenya

HOME

Kakuma Refugee Camp Currently hosts more than 100,000 refugees from neighboring Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Uganda; and farther away Eritrea, Congo, Burundi, and Rwanda.  Many of these refugees are awaiting resettlement to the US and elsewhere.  Many of the refugees resettled in Nashville have spent many years in this desolate camp where food is scarce, shelter is minimal, and safety is threatened.
