Oxfam has supported groups of young refugees who have formed small organisations and become recognized actors in improving conditions in the camp for the larger refugee populations. The groups of young refugees have plaid a vital role in support to refugees based in their unique capacities of being familiar with the culture, speaking the local languages and living as equals among the refugees in the camp.
Also, the ability of young refugees to act as mediators, reducing tension and directly intervene and prevent conflicts has been highly valued.
