Refugees in Rwanda

 

Rwanda, today, hosts more 60,000 refugees including those currently fleeing from eastern DRC clashes, with a few others, about 21, from Uganda, Eritrea, Sudan, Chad and Ethiopia (NT). "Gihembe Refugee Camp is home to over 20,000 Congolese refugees" (All A.). "Over 50,000 Congolese refugees are said to be in Rwanda living in several camps while others are urban refugees" (NT).

There are a few very big Refugee camps in Rwanda. Getting organisation in to help build small gardens, such as Be Their Voice, FAO or UNICEF would be a good idea. Also, builing cooking stoves running on biogas, from the idea of Umande Trust would make a lot of sense. UNHCR and the GoR appears to be on the right track in Kiziba (NT).

 

Camps

  • Byumba (Gihembe camp)
  • Kibuye (Kiziba camp)
  • Gatsibo (Nyabiheke camp)
  • Nyamagabe ( Kigeme camp)

Aid Evaluator seeks volunteers
