A visit to a camp for IDPs




This is a small camp, not far from Kitale. People have come from many places. Some families rent places outside tha actual Camp and others stay with relatives and friends.




The total number served by this Camp is 2697. These are from 427 families. However we observed others coming from far, looking for food.

Staying in the actual camp are 155 families.
Food is cooked for many of these families in a structure kindly lent by the school for use as a kitchen. The photo shows the two large sufurias. We have now taken them another two.

The kitchen is has one of the IDPs as a watchman/supervisor. He has the great luxury of a proper bed in the corner. He shares the room with fireplaces (3 stones) and firewood.
