Shelter project spreads hope to refugees

Description

Twenty-five-year-old Florence Idiongo fled South Sudan in 2016 for Kenya’s Kakuma camp, where she and her 12 dependents lived in a plastic tent in Kalobeyei settlement for two years. Conditions were extremely difficult here but thanks to UNHCR’s Cash for Shelter project, she was able to build two permanent houses for her extended family. The Cash for Shelter project highlights how UNHCR uses cash assistance to help refugees’ access more durable solutions such as integration with the host community and presents a shift from the traditional refugee camp planning process.
