Fairtrade Africa Senior Project Officer – Gender and Inclusion Jobs in Kenya
Background
Kakuma refugee camp is in the North-Western region of Kenya. The camp was established in 1992 following the arrival of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”. During that year, large groups of Ethiopian refugees fled their country following the fall of the Ethiopian government. Somalia had also experienced high insecurity and civil strife causing people to flee. The camp is on the outskirts of Kakuma town, which is headquarters for Turkana West Sub- County of Turkana County. There were 288,206 refugees and registered asylum seekers at Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement as of 31st May 2024.1 Refugees are hosted in Turkana West Sub-County with a population of 239,627 (KNBS 2019).
An estimated 1 billion people — 16% of the world — live with some form of disabilities, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). And 80% of those people live in developing countries. The last census estimated that around 2.2 per cent of the population (0.9 million) of Kenya live with a disability which is most likely an underestimation. In Turkana West Sub-County 2, 395 persons with disability were identified excluding refugees (KNBS 2019).
