Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement Project

When the Kenyan refugees arrived at the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in 2008, there was very little support in terms of school fees for their children and there was no provision for a nursery school at the settlement.

Real Medicine Foundation stepped forward in collaboration with the UNHCR and Ugandan Office of the Prime Minister to establish a school-support program to cover fees and supplies for nursery, primary and secondary school children of the Kenyan refugee community at Kiryandongo. Students now study comfortably without concern of their future because their school fees are paid and scholastic materials such as books, pens, and pencils are covered.
