After his father was killed in the violence that erupted in Burundi
in April 2015, 15-year-old Cedric Ishimimara fled to Uganda with
his mother and four siblings. To help support his family, Cedric
delivers mud bricks on his bicycle. Uganda provides refugees with
small parcels of land within refugee-hosting districts where they
live among the local host community. By the end of 2015, more than
30,000 Burundian refugees had found refuge in the Nakivale refugee
settlement. Kashojwa village in Nakivale, Uganda, is nicknamed
New Bujumbura due to its likeness to the capital of Burundi.
