Social Assistance
In order to provide comprehensive services, HRTK established a Social Office to serve as a resource to refugees to help them meet their basic needs. Where an assessment reveals concerns for personal security and/or the need for medical intervention, the social office facilitates alternative safe accommodation and medical care respectively. It is especially vigilant to the plight of refugees in potentially risky situations. In 2008, HRTK’s Social work staff in Nairobi provided services to approximately 400 refugees.
