With financial support from ILO, RYEH hosted an event to showcase the sumptuous skills of refugee cooks and chefs on World Refugee Day in Nairobi. The event provided a platform for urban refugees to break bread with their neighbors, show off their skills, and enhance their knowledge of the food service industry in Kenya. RYEH together with ILO used social media to publicize the event and attracted over 150 guests eager to devour the food and knowledge on offer.

With the support of Internews, REYH conducted an emergency campaign during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Somali-language radio, REYH conducted an hour-long breakfast show program to share information about the health risks of COVID-19 and the evidence-based methods people could use to keep families and individuals safe.

Dadaab Book Drive’ is an ongoing initiative that has delivered over 60,000 books and opened a community library in Dadaab Refugee Camp. The Book Drive’s goal is to improve education for children in Dadaab by ensuring they have  text books, reading materials, and safe environments to study. Dadaab Book Drive has helped children to gain knowledge, believe in themselves, and succeed through their own efforts. All we had to do was put a book in their hands.
