Globally, it is estimated that 60% of refugees live in urban areas; however, attention to refugee issues tends to focus on refugees living in camps. Kenya is known to host the some of the highest numbers of refugees globally with Somali refugees accounting for up to 53.7% of all the refugee and displaced person population in Kenya (Jemutai, 2021).
