Our Director Chansa Kapaya joined IFC Africa this week to explore opportunities that will open up doors for refugees.  “ I've witnessed amazing efforts by refugees to improve their lives. Their mind set is - help me to help myself.” Working together we can do just that.

The conflict in the DRC caused 15,000 + people to flee to Burundi in the past few days. Families arrive exhausted, & traumatized. Many had spent years in IDP camps, making them more vulnerable. Our teams are on the ground to help. bit.ly/40VUqDa
