Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation Chairperson Amb. Tegla Loroupe has called for sustained support to refugees and vulnerable families in Kakuma and Dadaab settlements amid shrinking humanitarian funding.
With support from the National Olympic Committee of Kenya, the foundation distributed food items to athletes, elders, and vulnerable groups at the Kakuma Settlement Scheme.
Loroupe urged the Government of Kenya, development partners, donors, and philanthropists to continue supporting displaced families, warning that funding reductions could affect access to essential services.
Kakuma Settlement Officer Kipngeno Siele said the settlement hosts about 315,000 refugees and asylum seekers from Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia.
