In September 2010, I had lead a Real Life team in Kenya. We had opportunity to work in the IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) Camp, in Kijabe. After the 2007 Kenyan election, supporters of Raila Odinga, the guy who lost, took to the streets and protested. Actually that is a bit light, they rioted. Many of these supporters were of the Maasai tribe and they decided to blame the tribe who supported Mwai Kibaki, the incumbent president who was reelected. He happened to be part of the Kikuyu tribe.

These people who live on this land are members of the Kikuyu tribe. They are Kenyans who were persecuted by other Kenyans because the one person was elected over the other one. They are refugees in their own country.

Many live in tents given to them by UNICEF and USAID, while others live in Habitat for Humanity homes. On average, adults eat one meal every day or two, but children eat a meal about every two - three days. They have hard time getting jobs because of their tribal background and location to the surrounding cities.
