First-Ever TEDx Talk Show To Be Hosted In Kenyan Refugee Camp

The event will take place in a tent at a school in Kakuma Refugee Camp that hosts over 185,000 refugees from South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Burundi, DR Congo, Eritrea, Uganda and Rwanda. #TEDxKakumaCamp will offer a different lens into the reality of life as a refugee - away from the images of devastation and suffering - with stories that uplift and inspire, not just the communities that host them, but the entire world.
