People, place and practical support

A family-focused perspective on Kyaka II.

Kyaka II Refugee Settlement is in Kyegegwa District in western Uganda. The settlement is included in UNHCR’s 2026 reporting on refugee communities in this part of the country.

The chance to learn, a stable place to live and access to care all matter to family wellbeing. These priorities guide OWAID’s wider concern for orphans, widows and refugee families, alongside recognition of the caregivers who support them each day.

Speak with OWAID about current outreach in Uganda and whether there is an appropriate opportunity connected to Kyaka II. Christian compassion motivates our service, which welcomes people regardless of their faith or background.

Help with a clear purpose

Learning and stability for refugee households.

A pupil’s school materials, a caregiver’s training and a dependable roof can support one another. For Uganda, discuss the current priorities in Nakivale and Kyangwali and the practical arrangements for the program you want to help.

You can help through a one-time gift, ongoing support, fundraising or an appropriate partnership. The team can discuss a program’s scope, budget and the information available to supporters.
