Refugee child at Bwagiriza camp in Southeast Burundi. These children rely almost entirely on WFP food rations which ensure their nutritional and cognitive growth.

Life in refugee camps is tough, especially for children. The food they get from WFP helps them worry less about eating and focus more on their education. Bwagiriza Refugee Camp in south-east Burundi has its own school.
