📍Kakuma

What has been happening in Sudan since civil war erupted one year ago? Why are millions displaced there? Where are people fleeing to — in Sudan and in other countries in conflict?

Some answers and reflections in this short video… 👇🏻

Ce fut un plaisir d’échanger avec Stéphane Séjourné et de le féliciter personnellement pour le succès de la conférence de Paris sur le Soudan.

Le ministre m’a assuré de l’appui fort de la France au travail du HCR: un partenariat indispensable à la cause des réfugiés dans le monde.

Effective partnerships mean we can make a bigger impact on the lives of refugees & host communities.

Yesterday, Caroline Van Buren met with the CEO of Grundfos, a 🇩🇰 partner providing technical expertise in the water sector, and funding to UNHCR Kenya from Grundfos Foundation.

“If Sudan’s middle class and its civil society are destroyed and displaced, what will be left of the country? Who will rebuild it? Peace has to prevail before it’s too late.”

From my statement at the Paris Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and the Neighbouring Countries.

A great start to the week! Meeting with Grundfos CEO Poul Due Jensen at a reception hosted by Stephan Schønemann 🇩🇰 🇩🇰
 
Grundfos Foundation is a key partner to UNHCR, together, we are improving health and access to WASH in Kakuma.

'Sport gives me hope' - inspiring words from Malka, a young Sudanese refugee & student of the Angelina Jolie Primary School, Kakuma.

Sport can be transformational. I'm proud that UNHCR supports initiatives to gives access and opportunities to young women like Malka ⚽️

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today, from us all at UNHCR Kenya.
