Due to the fighting in neighboring DRC, Congolese refugees are arriving at Rwamyanja Refugee Settlement in Western Uganda in search for peace and security.
The UN team in Uganda and key partners have come together to support the Government in delivering much needed services to this vulnerable population. This includes shelter, health, education, protection, and water.

Babies are checked for malnutrition, and given basic immunizations.
