A house built by the Congolese refugee seen at the Kyangwali refugee settlement. UNHCR encourages the refugees to be self dependent by offering small plot of land for them to build their own house and farming. According to the UNHCR over 85, 000 people have reached Uganda from the Democratic Republic of Congo since the beginning of 2018 as they escape violence in the Ituri province in north eastern part of their war torned country. The majority of refugees are arriving by boat across Lake Albert, which lies between the two countries. With refugee settlements in Uganda almost at maximum capacity there are plans for new settlements to be built to deal with the continuing influx of people.
