Refugee yogi promotes mental wellness in Kenyan refugee camp

Description

This Ugandan refugee is using the power of yoga to bring wellness and healing to refugees in Kenya’s Kakuma camp. Mental health services are essential but with nearly 200,000 residents, access is limited. UNHCR and partners are providing counselling and other services as part of COVID-19 interventions but more funding and support is required to ensure refugees and their hosts receive the help they need.
