For example, a Burundian musician is doing very well and entertaining in several places. The creation of a Refugee Trust Fund ensures they have access to some funds which will give them durable solutions. This particular trust fund does not charge the Kenyan taxpayers money. It only helps us outsource funds. In fact, there are other international communities that want to assist refugees in Kenya and having a trust fund stops the refugees from living ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Right now, if any refugee wants to earn an income, he or she has to rely on international bodies and other Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).
