Overview
In the Kalobeyei Settlement and host community town, ESDS Kenya supported the Covid-19 response measures of the local authorities by connecting facilities to the existing mini-grids. In total, 3 health facilities, providing medical serivces to refugees and host community, 4 schools, earmarked as isolation centers, and one horticultural farm run by WFP which sustains the food supply, were connected to the mini-grids in the Kalobeyei Settlement and Town. While these measures serve as immediate contribution to efforts to contain the pandemic, they also improve the energy services in Kakuma long-term wise and align with the broader objective of ESDS.
