Kasime sits in the open doorway of her mud brick house with her two young children one of them only seven months old. Rags cover holes in the thatched roof, to little effect whenever it rains.
“When it rains we all get soaked,” she told CV staff during a recent interview. “My second baby developed a funny illness, which doctors attributed it to poor housing facility.”
Kasime was forced to flee her village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC, or “Congo”) when rebel militants came to her house one night and murdered her husband without provocation. Kasime is now receiving help from ChildVoice, but her story is just one of thousands. Over 500,000 Congolese refugees languishing in Uganda alone.
