Butterfly
Art from Kakuma: Hope Through the Eyes of Children
These drawings were created by children living in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in northwestern Kenya — one of the largest refugee camps in the world. Many of the young artists are orphans, living through unimaginable challenges with strength and creativity far beyond their years.
The artwork you see here was made during daycare sessions run by CAPS (Community Action for Peace and Solidarity ), a dedicated non profit refugee led charity providing safe space, emotional care, and educational support to vulnerable children in the camp. In these sessions, art becomes more than just play — it becomes healing, expression, and sometimes, joy.
