Burundian refugees in Congo forge a better future
UNHCR, 17 April 2018, 20 Jun 2018
To escape poverty, handicapped Burundian refugees founded the association Dufashanye, meaning “Mutual Support” in Kirundi, the language spoken in Burundi. The 32-member association set up a workshop in Lusenda refugee camp in South Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and helps refugees with disabilities turn scrap metal into household items.
