Welcome to Gihembe refugee camp, Byumba. Don't forget to collect your water at the alloted time. Each hut houses one family group; average size of a family group is 8 people.


Camp children. The reason why we're here...
The area around Byumba is mountainous and the scenery is exceptionally lovely. Would you guess that this shot is taken in Africa, and almost exactly on the Equator

Sanitation is reminiscent of Glastonbury.....

The camp chapel; it's the best decorated church in Rwanda

The teachers we trained. Here they are preparing lessons in a mud classroom.

You get a sense of claustrophobia in the camp

The primary school in the camp. 84 classrooms; well over 4000 pupils

What's my future going to be like?
