About

CRCU is a legally registered organization operating in Uganda since 2018. The main focus of this refugee-led community is on uniting the refugees to, collectively, find meaningful solutions to enhance their welfare and survival in their different circumstances. As such, the community has embarked on empowering and executing a number of initiatives in partnerships with state and non-state actors in refugee care. Healing the wounds of trauma is an integral goal in all the activities which target different age groups. The community empowers youth through targeted training in employable skills, mainly hairdressing, tailoring, ICT and other hands-on skills. For young working mothers, a daycare center run by refugee volunteers was initiated. For the widows and older women, group savings and mentoring activities are organized. A number of community events are organized at the center to create an environment for sharing experiences and unit all refugees to common causes. The refugee population includes nationals from, Afghanistan, Burundi, Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan.
