IMPACT IN ACTION
Play Can Create Connection
Through Play, Learn and Lead, YRDP brought together more than 150 children from different nationalities living in Kakuma.
The activity created an opportunity for children to interact with people they may not normally meet, participate in games, learn together and develop new relationships.
For YRDP, these moments matter because community development is also about creating spaces where people can connect, participate and feel included.
