From a simple phone call to a powerful reality.
I still remember connecting on a call with Dr. Saleh Barham before he was elected UN High Commissioner
During the call, I and my colleagues we shared challenging experiences that refugees are failing in today’s world , asking difficult questions to him , and exploring how we could bring real change into humanitarian spaces especially for refugees living in camps with limited opportunities. At the time, it felt bold, almost unreal.
And yesterday
We were incredibly honored and excited to welcome him to Kakuma Refugee Camp, where he met our team at . During the visit, we introduced our REGENERATE KAKUMA project , a project focused on supporting both mental and physical well-being for refugees and the host community where they will also be empowered to use their skills and talents to be self relaint .
This journey is a reminder that conversations matter, visions matter, and change is possible when leadership listens and acts.
Today, seeing him serve as the UN High Commissioner is truly a dream come true. His leadership brings renewed hope to millions of refugees around the world. What makes it even more meaningful is his commitment to visiting refugee camps personally, taking time to see the realities on the ground and understand what truly needs to change.
