In Kakuma Refugee Camp, kalobayei and the host community, we find many cultures, characters andspecifically many youths of different status with talent in basketball who are supposed to be the best
players. As GRB we have done a research and found out that, majority of these youths in their
respective communities are facing many difficulties such as lack of professional trainers, shortage of
enough balls and other basketball training equipment and this shortage of these equipment has led
them to anti-social behaviour like drug abuse, taking alcohol, unwanted pregnancy and others bad
action cases in their communities.
