ICRC provides connectivity services that support people who fled their countries as a result of conflict to contact their loved ones. @UgandaRedCross @OPMUganda.
Adam fled Sudan after being shot. Alone and injured, he made it to #Uganda, hoping to heal and provide for his family. With the help of an ICRC-supported connectivity centre, he finally heard his family’s voices again. ⬇️ . #SudanTwoYears

The @ICRC & @UgandaRedCross connectivity centers in Kiryandongo help #Refugees stay in contact with their loved ones through free phone calls, phone charging & Wi-Fi access, and open requests to search for their missing loved ones. Watch Rehab’s story, #Sudanese URCS volunteer.
When the conflict in Sudan tore her life apart, Rehab fled with nothing. After a long, difficult journey to #Uganda, she’s now helping others reconnect with their loved ones at a refugee connectivity centre. Watch her story of resilience. 🎥.#SudanTwoYears
