This World Refugee Day, we celebrate a superpower often overlooked in humanitarian systems: community.

In this episode of Between the Lines, host Mwara Namelok is joined by George Dralagar (Youth Voices Community) and Adior Ibrahim (COHERE), two refugee leaders building tangible, community-led solutions in Kenya.

Together, they discuss:

Why capacity strengthening must replace outdated ideas of capacity building

The structures refugee communities have already developed: from youth-run training hubs to mutual aid networks

How legal barriers and restrictive funding block genuine refugee participation

What solidarity truly looks like when it centres trust, not control
