Hi Rina,

Thanks for your comment and question. As at KANERE we would welcome your volunteer assistance to free press here at Kakuma camp; but regarding job as a journalist, you can contact the Humanitarian larger Organisations like: UNHCR and IOM and UN-World Food Programme to get employed..; you can contact them and try!

Hello Indrias,

Happy New Year to you. Thanks for your comments and regarding your relocation to Kakuma you should contact the UNCHR Branch Office in Nairobi since you are already registered with them. I also believe that you don’t have to change your case once you have already presented to them. I could also advise, If you can get in contacts with the RCK and KItuo cha sherial,- Free legal aid clinics based in Nairobi areas.

I hope you will find this advise useful and keep sharing thoughts.

Hello kakuma kenya UNHCR worker what do u do for refugee? by the way is there any secret of work.How do u hear the problem of asylum or refugee no body can try to solve the problem of the real persecution,abused,in general they are not working for real refugee but they are working only for some people for unknown reasons and any of these they get randemly selection so we are confuised.kakuma is very bad area and weather is bad and life with out security with differnt person having left their own countries due many political opnion and yet objective those are good socialism so how can live with out solution in this bad area for 20years plus may be another 20years?
