ConnectRefugee

Health Education ICT Pilot
Description

ConnectRefugee is a mobile app that sends notifications to users about food distribution schedules, healthcare, and opportunities in multiple languages and offline based in Isingiro district Nakivale refugee settlement.

Impact

ConnectRefugee reduces misinformation and isolation by giving refugees instant access to verified updates on food distribution, healthcare, and local opportunities. It saves time and transport costs since people no longer have to move from zone to zone just to find information. The app also opens income channels by helping users find trainings, jobs, and services posted by NGOs and partners. On a broader level, it builds trust, improves coordination, and supports a more informed and active refugee community.
