Since February 12, 2025, Burundi has been facing a massive influx of refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC. As fighting escalates in eastern DRC, more than 40,000 Congolese refugees - primarily women and children - have crossed into Burundi with over 9,000 arrivals recorded in a single day. People are mainly arriving at the Gatumba border post close to the largest city, Bujumbura, exhausted and traumatized, many separated from their families with a little information to join them.
Thousands arriving through unofficial border points including along the Rusizi River near Ruhagarika and Rugombo, with reports of several individuals drowning. Conditions in the communities near the border are extremely dire, with a lack of shelter, water and sanitation facilities
This project will solve problems by providing shelter, food and sleeping materials
This project will last for 8 months hoping that after 8 months the war will be over and return in their country .
This project has provided additional documentation in a DOCX file (projdoc.docx).
