Football star Dennis Oliech and Kenya Basketball Premier League MVP Samba Mjomba visited Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement to mentor young refugees using sports to prevent gender-based violence and improve their wellbeing. The Play2Protect project, an initiative of UNFPA funded by the Olympic Refuge Foundation, aims to provide young people in refugee and host communities with information and services for preventing and responding to gender-based violence, helping them to thrive.
