JRS Kenya is present in Kakuma Refugee Camp (northern Kenya) and Nairobi. We work with both urban refugees and with refugees in the camp. We follow the principles of Accompanying, Serving, and Defending refugee’s rights in all our activities.

Taking into account that Kenya is one of the countries in Africa with the biggest number of refugees (nearly 0.5 Million by January 2020) due to its peaceful nature and stability, our duty in the country is vast and very much required.

With urban refugees, we have a different program including secondary and tertiary education sponsoring, business opportunities as well as grants, loans, or training, and an open-door policy to attend any need of emergency support or counseling.

With refugees at Kakuma Camp, we have a focus on special needs education and treatment, as well as we offer protection services and livelihood opportunities through different kinds of training.

Every year at JRS Kenya we accompany and serve thousands of refugees both direct and indirectly, making our duty a life-changing opportunity for the most vulnerable refugees in the country and their close families.

Hopefully one day our work will be no longer needed. Until then, let’s pray for JRS to keep with its so-necessary duty, in Kenya, and worldwide.
