Emergency assistance to 500 new households in the Congolese refugees camp of  Kigeme (Rwanda) Following the clashes between the FARDC (DRC government army) and the armed group called "M23" in the province of North Kivu, Rwanda hosted on its territory more than 4,000 households of Congolese refugees since the month of May 2012. First, they were in camp of Nkamira in the diocese of Nyundo before being transferred to the camp of Kigeme which is in the diocese of Gikongoro. With aid from 8 Caritas members of the Network Caritas Internationalis, Caritas Rwanda was able to provide assistance to these families with non-food items, including blankets, jerry cans, plates, spoons, cups, ladles , soap, buckets, mats, napkins, toilet paper, pots, cloths for ladies and thrift stores for children and adults. All these aids were highly appreciated by the beneficiaries who arrived in Rwanda stripped of everything.
 Today, despite the assistance provided by the Caritas Rwanda, the Government and other humanitarian organizations, the need for food and non-food items remain enormous in Kigeme camp. In addition to 4000 refugee households already living in that camp, there have added other hundreds of people who fled the fighting that led to the fall of Goma; most of them are women and children.
Note that women and children are the most affected of this war and require special attention. Caritas Rwanda continues its advocacy work for these people in need with humanitarian organizations to find one that could help relieve their misery.

Caritas Rwanda would like to assist 500 households from these newly arrived in order to reduce the vulnerability of women and children affected by the violence of armed conflict by facilitating their access to non-food items.

Trough this project, each targeted household will receive 8 pieces of clothing for children,  12 soaps for body care and laundry, 2 cotton flannels and 1 loincloth for women. 

The project will be implemented by Caritas Rwanda staff with support from CAFOD emergency team and in close collaboration/coordination with other humanitarian actors involved in assistance at Kigeme camp.
Creating a dialogue space for communities in cross-border dioceses of Nyundo(Rwanda) and Goma (DRC) As everywhere in Rwanda, the population of the Diocese of Nyundo suffered from the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 and insecurity from FDLRs that challenged consequently social cohesion between local populations. General security situation is currently improved in Rwanda but cross-border communities live in prejudices, suspicions and mistrust that make each community develops a certain fear which sometimes leads to violence. In other side, risks of population manipulation linked to ethnicity remain high without peace education for youths.

Sustaining the achievement of Peace building in Cyangungu Diocese In 2013, the Justice and Peace Commission, in partnership with Cafod, launched a sub-regional project aimed at consolidating fraternal and good-neighborhood relations for the peoples living in bordering towns in the Great Lakes sub-region. This is otherwise known as the "Sustainability Project" of the Peace building project that aimed at drawing the people together, the people of the bordering dioceses of Cyangugu (Rwanda), Bukavu and Uvira (DRC) and Bubanza (Burundi)."
 This project has provided a framework for collaboration and mutual dialogue between the people of the project area. At the end of the project, they now condemn feelings of hatred, mistrust, tension etc and are actively engaged in cross-border rapprochement initiatives for peace and reconciliation.
This project leaves behind lots of success requiring a much more thoughtful strategy to strengthen sustainability on the ground.  
This project comes-in handy to support and pave the way for community defined mechanisms for Peace-building self-supported initiatives. The project will be line-up for 6 months with activities to build the community's stronger ownership of the results achieved. By the end of this project, we endeavor to have created an operational and permanent community based monitoring network of peace building actions between the parishes that have been part of the project.
The regular connection and a permanent framework of collaboration between the parishes bordering the targeted dioceses will be maintained even after the project (joint and bilateral participation in events, twinning continued, permanent sharing of information)
This will be done through the commitment of the structures set up in the parishes finally to continue the rapprochement as did the CDJP through the project that is coming to an end.
This will have the effect of maintaining the attitudes of the cross-border population to resist prejudices and overcome any divisions that may arise from one moment to the next.
Improve citizen participation in decentralized governance process The CEJP will conduct an identification of different laws in relation to human rights, to principles of good governance, to important policies of the country such as decentralization.   Knowledge of laws encourage citizen's address to the authorities to claim his rights expression. Understanding the operation of the decentralized administration (local authorities and their responsibilities, mandates, etc) will allow people to easily obtain services and be able to claim from the senior ranks. The project will also inform the population about the current programs and the importance of their involvement and will allow the population to participate in the 'open door - day' organised by the local administration (district and sector) each quarter.

Project plans also to hold a peace pilgrimage in Cyangugu to be leaded by Bishops of Bukavu (DRC) and Cyangugu (Rwanda) with about 10,000 participants from the four dioceses targeted. We plan to organise cross-border peace festivals as well as socio-cultural events to increase population awareness on peaceful coexistence. This project will enhance the church’ leader’s involvement to ensure peacebuilding is set up as pastoral priorities in the four dioceses and mobilize the border communities for enabling peace.
