When Faida arrived at the Makombe refugee camp in Rwanda, she had nothing—no shoes, no change of clothes, not even soap to wash her children’s hands. “We are suffering a lot,” she shared. A mother of many and now separated from her husband, Faida was desperate for help.
Like so many others fleeing violence in Burundi, Faida crossed the border with nothing but hope for survival. Since December, she and her children have been surviving on what little food they can find—usually just rice. They sleep directly on the ground, exposed and uncertain about the future.

Faida said it best: “We only ask that God will bless you… because we are suffering here.”
