John’s story 
(In pic from left to right : Martin from RCK, John, Vladimir from Refugees United)

The man standing in the middle of the picture is named John. He lives in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. He was forced to flee his hometown during the post election period in 2008 and was then placed in Kakuma Camp leaving behind family members and friends.

John has been searching for his 2 sons and has not heard from them in years. He was very excited to hear about Refugees United’s plan to help people reconnect and is eager to create his account. John says: 

“Refugees United is my only hope to find my children”
