In response to the harsh reality of camp life for refugees at Kakuma, Jesuit Refugee Service has turned its psychosocial program sites into oases of tranquility.

Patients who enter the Alternative Healing compound find that its cooling trees and restful plants and benches creates a climate of peace and relaxation at odds with the heat and noise of the surrounding camp.

The JRS team at Kakuma believes this atmosphere is part of the healing that many refugees receive through our programs there.
