Kakuma Refugee Camp is the country's second-largest camp, hosting about 288,000 refugees from nine countries, including South Sudan, Ethiopia, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Due to the impact of extreme weather throughout years, the agriculture and economy of the area remain underdeveloped. To boost food security in Kakuma refugee camp and the Turkana tribe, and to promote the integration of refugees into the local community, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) partnered with the Turkana County government to establish the Choro Farm within Kakuma refugee camp in 2017. The farm covers an area of 25 acres and involves 120 farmers, including refugees and local community members, cultivating crops such as peanuts and spinach. Currently, the crop has benefited the surrounding communities. (Xinhua/Wang Guansen)
