RSVP Emergency relief convoy

Thanks to our generous partners, RSVP has just delivered 3 tons of emergency food to refugees expelled from Tanzania into Rwanda.

The convoy included the local deputy Mayor who introduced us to the refugee leaders. We left Kigali at 7.30am for the 3 hour journey to the refugee camp. The last several miles, were driven across open bush country.

These people, largely forgotten by the world were very excited by our visit and obviously grateful for the delivery of these emergency supplies of food. Thank you partners.

Tanzania has expelled more than 8,000 refugees across its border with Rwanda. Some of the refugees have been out of Rwanda for 30 years.

Don Egan and his team visited the refugees in the camp in the Kagera region of Rwanda. More below.
