Kenya
In Kenya, Tdh is working in the protracted refugee crisis in the Dadaab camps at the Somali border, where hundreds of children are separated from their families, and in Korogocho, one of Kenya's busiest and poorest urban areas in Nairobi, where around 200,000 people, 40% of whom are children, live in an area of 1.5 km2.. Tdh protects children and young people from risks such as sexual violence, abuse and early marriage. We support unaccompanied and separated children and promote access to education.
