Kyangwali Refugee Settlement

The Kyangwali Refugee Settlement is located in Western Uganda, 80 km from Hoima. Kyangwali hosts approximately 18,000 mostly Congolese and Sudanese refugees. There are a small number of Rawandese, Burundians, Somalis, and Ethiopians also living at Kyangwali.

Many of the refugees in Kyangwali lack food; clean water; medical care; freedom of movement; housing; an education – just about everything we in the industrialized nations take for granted. The number of people dying from preventable or curable diseases, orphaned, and facing a drastically reduced life expectancy is staggering.
