Refugee life in Bubukwanga transit center, western Uganda - photo gallery
Recent rebel fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo has forced around 66,000 people (Red Cross figures) to cross into Uganda where many are in need of basic supplies and services.
We are working to provide water, sanitation and hygiene facilities for thousands of refugees living in Bubukwanga transit center, western Uganda (current figures are nearly 17,000).
We are delivering 80,000 liters of water to the transit center every day and have set up water storage tanks, pipes and tap stands to ensure refugees have safe access to clean water. Alongside the UN and other aid agencies, we are working to establish adequate toilets and bathing shelters, as well as promoting good hygiene practices.
