REFUGEES CRY FOR HUMANITARIAN AID

Refugee orphans at Mugenyi Refugee Youth Centre in Uganda

By Takesure Matewa

 War, famine, and political instability in many countries are the major push factors that lead people to flee their countries of birth to seek refuge in neighboring countries.

This is the case with Hubert Mweenze Brezillien, a Congolese refugee whose parents were murdered in cold blood back in Congo.

Hubert managed to flee and sought refuge in neighboring Uganda.

We had an interview with Hubert, A 22-year-old refugee who is the founder of Mungenyi Refugee Youth Centre to get more information about his organization.

"I am in Mungenyi Village, in Nakivale Refugee Camp a home to more than 2000 families who are refugees from Congo and Somalia."

"Among us, there are 217 (orphans) children of deceased refugees," Hubert told this publication.

"Some of these children are attending school and others are not, 15% of them are orphans"

Hubert said that as refugees from different African countries including Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia, and South Sudan they have their challenges.

Some of the challenges they are facing include lack of basic needs, food, clean water, and clothing.

The organization had started building a school but the project, unfortunately, stopped due to lack of funding.

"School children attend classes from morning to lunchtime and go to do extra-curricula activities like sports mainly football, Netball, and Volleyball".

" They are learning under very bad conditions, We need to build classrooms," Remarked Hubert
