Inside the Hagadera Refugee Camp located in Dadaab, eastern Kenya sits Mariam’s kitchen garden. This camp of semi-permanent corrugated metal houses and canvas tents has been her home for the last 19 years. She came here at 34 years old due to political unrest in her home country of Somalia, and she has never known any other place since.

Over the years, she has worked hard to make it home. This garden was a big part of that, but it was also important for providing nutritious and diverse produce for her family of seven.
