The Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement

The Bidi Bidi Refugee settlement, in Northern Uganda, is the largest refugee camp in Africa and was the largest refugee camp in the world until the Rohingya crisis in 2018. Bidi Bidi has quickly become the newest city in the world, now hosting almost 300,000 inhabitants after being created only in 2016. The vast majority of refugees are South Sudanese who have fled the ongoing civil conflict. Others come from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, and Somalia. Most of the population in Bidi Bidi are children under the age of 18, with limited or no access to education, cultural activities, job opportunities, or the internet.

In October, our team has joined Playing For Change Foundation to tour the camp and partake in the program they have developed with a local NGO, Sina Loketa, to bring access to music and arts education to the youth of the settlement.

We are always putting boots on the ground to develop the best intelligence to help stop forced labor and human trafficking.
