Working in 3 locations across Uganda, serving more than 15,000 refugees and sharing our stories. Since April 2014, CAFOMI has been working in various parts of Uganda in Kisoro, Bundibugyo and Adjumani districts, providing relief for the wellbeing of refugees. With funding from UNHCR, and CAFOMI has enabled to support refugees in their multi-sectoral program especially in Nyakabande transit center
which include manual registration of new arrivals, identification of PSN and case management, supplementary feeding, community sensitization programs, community mobilization and participation, shelter and hospital visits, distribution of relief items, and education sessions for youth and children which has brought hope in the lives of many refugees. In Bundibugyo, CAFOMI carries out construction of shelters and permanent toilets for refugees/IDP’s, both at Bubukwanga Transit Centre and to the host community at Busunga, Lamya and Butogo primary Schools. The shelters constructed are properly cleaned, and sanitation facilities fumigated with chlorine and Emo to avoid diseases and maintain good odour of the camp. We are also responsible for WASH and general management of the Bubukwanga Transit Centre. We carry out daily sensitization and personal hygiene training to IDP’s to ensure general cleanliness of the camp and proper hygiene practices are maintained. CAFOMI also ensures that all the 2 T70 water tanks are kept filled up for distribution to the IDP’s and the surrounding villages. Water flows through gravity flow systems into the transit centre uninterrupted. Chlorination is carried out through the E-doser pump and monitored on a daily basis by the CAFOMI technician. The water source is cleaned twice a month and routine weekly inspection of pipelines done to determine steady flow of water to the transit centre.
