Humanitarian Visit to Goma Village – Nakivale Refugee Settlement on 5th February 2026
Governor Allen T**h together with members of the Lions Club of Nakivale Light recently visited one of the most vulnerable communities of new refugees in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, specifically Goma Village, to provide humanitarian support.
During the visit, the team distributed sanitary items such as soap, non-food items including clothes, and complementary food like biscuits for children to help improve the well-being of families living in extremely difficult conditions.
While interacting with the community, the team observed that many families are facing very poor living conditions. Some households lack plastic sheetings for shelter, and whenever it rains, families are forced to sleep in wet conditions.
Moved by the situation, District Governor Allen T**hi personally purchased a new plastic sheeting (tent) for one of the vulnerable households to help protect them from the rain.
This situation calls for collective support from well-wishers, organizations, and partners to assist the vulnerable families in Goma Village with shelter materials, clothing, food, and other essential needs.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Lion DG Allen T**h and Lion Bernard, the Zone Chairperson, for their generous support and donation of clothing to the community.
Together, we can continue to bring hope and dignity to vulnerable refugees in Nakivale Refugee Settlement.

On 29th January 2026, members of the Lions Club of Nakivale Light visited Kabazana area, one of the villages hosting persons in vulnerable situations, to donate clothes to poor and vulnerable refugees, including widows, elderly persons, and children.
This humanitarian initiative was highly appreciated by the beneficiaries, who expressed great joy and gratitude to once again receive support from the Lions Club of Nakivale Light. Many beneficiaries noted that, while several humanitarian actors seem to have reduced or withdrawn their assistance, the Lions Club has continued to remember and stand with them in their time of need.
During the interaction, the beneficiaries appealed to the Club to consider ways of supporting them with food assistance and scholastic materials for their children, as they are approaching the new academic year without basic school requirements. They emphasized that this challenge may hinder their children from continuing their education if support is not received in time.
The activity was concluded by the Club President, who extended special thanks to the beneficiaries for their strong turnout and cooperation, and assured them of the Club’s commitment to do its best to explore possible ways of responding to their needs. Lions We share, care, and Serve
