Appreciation to Peace Winds Japan and UNHCR

Journey Ahead for Livelihoods (JAL) sincerely appreciates Peace Winds Japan for inviting our refugee-led organization, working in Environmental Conservation and WASH in Kakuma 4, to participate in the Joint Assessment Mission (JAM) conducted by UNHCR in Kakuma Refugee Camp, particularly at Field Post 4.

Our JAL team actively participated in the assessment by sharing community-level information and experiences on the challenges affecting refugees in environmental conservation and WASH. We also supported the assessment by responding to questions related to energy, helping provide a broader understanding of community needs.

We extend our special appreciation to Mrs. Faith, UNHCR interviewer and data collection officer, for her engagement and for taking the time after the assessment to visit the JAL office, where we shared a brief moment together and took photos.

We are grateful for the continued collaboration and opportunities to ensure that refugee voices are heard and reflected in humanitarian assessments and programmes.

Thank you, Peace Winds Japan and UNHCR, for recognizing and engaging refugee-led organizations.

🕊️ EMPOWERING REFUGEES THROUGH HUMAN RIGHTS & PEACE EDUCATION

At Journey Ahead for Livelihoods (JAL), we believe that knowing your rights is the first step toward protecting your dignity.

One of our priorities is to train and empower young people, women, men, girls and boys in refugee communities on:

✅ Human rights and responsibilities
✅ Peacebuilding and peaceful conflict resolution
✅ Gender equality and protection
✅ Prevention of violence and abuse
✅ How and where to report human rights violations
✅ Access to protection, legal assistance and other support services

We want every refugee to know that human rights belong to everyone—regardless of gender, nationality, ethnicity, age or status.

In Kakuma and Kalobeyei, we are committed to building a generation of young people who can speak up for their rights, promote peace, protect others and become positive leaders in their communities. 🤝

💡 We are calling upon NGOs, UN agencies, donors and partners working in human rights, refugee protection, peacebuilding, youth empowerment and gender equality to collaborate with JAL in expanding this initiative.

We welcome partnerships, technical support, training, mentorship and resources to reach more refugee and host-community members.

🤝 Potential partners and supporters:

Consortium of Kenya (RCK)
Refugee Council (DRC)
Rescue Committee (IRC)
Refugee Service (JRS)
Refugee Council (NRC)
Red Cross Society
World Federation (LWF)

Let us work together to make refugee communities more informed, peaceful, protected and empowered. 🕊️❤️

We listened. And what we heard demands to be shared.

Following the market day commemoration ahead of World Refugee Day, JAL sat down with the women whose handmade products had filled our exhibition stand, the same women whose craft drew admiration, whose work spoke of skill, pride, and quiet determination.

Behind the products was a deeper conversation.

One by one, they shared their journeys, women building businesses with their hands, with limited capital, without consistent buyers, without a safety net. They spoke of their aspirations: to grow, to sustain, to provide. And they spoke honestly about what structured support from organizations like JAL could unlock, access to micro-finance, market linkages, skills development, and partners willing to walk the journey with them.

They also named the growing weight of the moment. Aid cuts in Kakuma have hit hard. The differentiated assistance model has reduced what families can access, and for women already holding their households together, the gap between surviving and thriving has widened sharply. Livelihoods are shrinking. The ability to provide for their families is under real pressure.

And yet these women are showing up. Building something every single day.

JAL leaves this session more committed than we came. The aspirations in our office were not small. And neither will our response be.

If your organization works in economic empowerment, humanitarian response, or refugee-led development, let's talk.

Every Step, Together. 🤝

Beyond equipment, we are also dedicated to building stronger sports communities by training coaches and referees, ensuring that young athletes receive quality guidance and mentorship.

Together, we can create opportunities, nurture talent, and inspire the next generation of football stars.
