Paradise.





This may not look like paradise to you, but to the refugees arriving from the transit centers near the DRC border, Nyabiheke Camp may seem like such a place.

Here, they find shelter, water, health care and dignity. They can keep their children safe and their clothing clean. And some have already started activities that could be incorporated into our Income Generation Program.

While you are busy doing whatever you are doing in the next week, think about the 400 people who will arrive in Nyabiheke during that time, and about the ARC staff that even as I am writing this are busy building shelters and water points to receive them.

Here in Rwanda, the crisis in DRC is far from over.
