Violet Paul Foundation

REFUGEE DAY 2025 🖊 🎨 Thank you to the boys @thehallschool for hosting us and creating such inspiring response work to our Wonder Boys exhibition of paintings and poems made in Kakuma. Looking at the universal themes of identity, boyhood/manhood, dreams, and aspirations, explored through the artwork of Aize Muhammed Paul (@zpxnso )and realised by the Kakuma Art Collective, they too created bold portraits and deeply personal poems. Hope you enjoy them! We look forward to presenting their work back in Kakuma. @guaafrica

What started as a potluck in Nairobi has landed in Kakuma — your donations made it, and they’re already in the hands of the families who need them most. To everyone who gave, showed up, or simply believed — thank you. You didn’t just donate, you delivered dignity. We’re open to donations all year round. Join the movement. Be part of a community where giving is culture and impact is the goal. #VioletPaulFoundation #KakumaToTheWorld #GiveBoldly #ThisIsCommunity #SupportWithSoul
