Abstract
The intention of this paper was to investigate the extent to which the African men in
Dadaab refugee camps are able to meet physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem and self
actualization needs for their families. To achieve this, the study sought to find out if the men were
able to provide food for their children and if they were able to satisfy their sexual needs. The
study further wished to establish if the men moved with their family members to the camp and if
they were able to carry out their responsibilities as was expected of them and if they felt
respected and fulfilled. Maslow’s (1970) hierarchy of needs theory was used to ground the study.
A sample of 192 respondents aged between15 year to 55 years was selected for the study with
the majority coming from Somalia while a few came from Ethiopia, Sudan, south Sudan, Congo
and Uganda.
