Meanwhile, conflicts in Ethiopia and South Sudan threaten to escalate. In Uganda, neighbour to many of these countries, there is not enough money to care for refugees currently living there, let along the new ones that arrive every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018We left Congo because of the war. Because of bombings, we had to spend the night in the wilderness, so I decided to leave the country,\u2019 says\u00a0<strong>Mave Francin<\/strong>, 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She sits with her six-month-old son, <strong>Gift<\/strong>, in a reception centre in the Kyangwali refugee settlement in western Uganda, which is home to almost 150,000 people. Just yesterday, she was one of around 100 Congolese people who crossed Lake Albert &#8211; on the border between DRC and Uganda &#8211; by boat to escape the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A woman sitting with a child in her arms\" class=\"wp-image-154698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-316x178.jpg 316w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09851-web-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mave Francin fled the Democratic Republic of Congo at the end of March. All she took with her was her son Gift, who was six months old at the time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kyangwali, refugees are first registered and then taken to the nearest crowded centre, where Mave Francin and other new arrivals have to wait to be directed further. In Uganda, each refugee family is given a small plot of land, measuring 30 metres by 50 metres, where they can supplement the food aid they receive by growing crops like vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refugees can often start a new life within a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018In March alone, we received more than 3,800 new residents here in Kyangwali, and every day another 450 to 500 people arrive,\u2019 says\u00a0<strong>Chali Tophious<\/strong>, head of the settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uganda is proud to be one of the countries that welcomes refugees with open arms. Currently, there are approximately 1.8 million refugees in a country with a population of around 50 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, supporting refugees had been possible thanks to international aid, but now that the largest donor, the United States, has withdrawn its support for refugees, the future of Uganda&#8217;s reception policy is hanging in the balance. Cuts to basic services for refugees are enormous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09831-web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A boat on a shore next to a lake\" class=\"wp-image-154701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09831-web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09831-web-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09831-web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09831-web-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09831-web-316x178.jpg 316w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09831-web.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Many Congolese flee by boat across Lake Albert to Uganda.

The UN World Food Programme used to distribute energy-rich biscuits and water, but now we are struggling to get them. We don&#8217;t have enough toilets, healthcare services are scarce and mental health services have been cut off,&#8221; says Chali Tophious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monthly income support received by refugees has also fallen by about a third. It is now less than \u20ac2.50 per person. Families are supposed to use this money to cover school fees, medicines and food, which is impossible for people whose only source of income is this support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cuts are also evident in schools supported by Finn Church Aid (FCA). The number of pupils is growing, but there is simply no money for new buildings or even pens and notebooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09923-web-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Children sitting very closely in class\" class=\"wp-image-154686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09923-web-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09923-web-270x480.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09923-web-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09923-web-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09923-web-100x178.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC09923-web.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Traces of USAID support are still visible in the overcrowded classrooms, but nothing new is on the horizon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During our visit to Bukinda Primary School, which FCA has recently started supporting, national exams are underway, but some students loiter in the yard outside the classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018They cannot afford to pay for the tests,\u2019 says headmaster\u00a0<strong>Samuel Tugumenawe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Tugumenawe, there were just over 1,000 pupils at the school in February.
