We spoke to Raouf Mazou, UNHCR representative in Kenya, about the launch of a new education model for Kakuma refugee camp. Kakuma, located in the northwest of Kenya, gives shelter to about 179000 people, most of which have fled from neighbouring countries like South Sudan and Somalia. 

A recent influx of 38000 people has put a new strain on all included parties to supply basic services and goods as well as protection.
Facing these challenges, the UNHCR aims at implementing a new, integrated and adequately resourced education programme to especially improve the situation for children and women in the camp and the surounding communities.
