KAMPALA, 13 February, 2021 (TON): UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) states that about 1,400,000 people have found refuge in the country of Uganda.

The country is one of the leading hosts of refuges.

The city of Kampala appears to have a mechanism of refuge rapid integration into the Ugandan society as many new refugees become members of their host communities.

Those who cross the border at an early age are raised in Ugandan schools promoting a healthy fusion of double culture and adequately preparing the young refugees to thrive in their new home.

Ganiko Jerry, a southern Sudanese refugee, shares his positive experience with the local educational system, "The education part I received from Uganda really helped me a lot."

However, there are few challenges that need to be met and sparked after the ongoing pandemic crisis.
