Thanks for visiting Tubulire.Info!  

On the Tubulire.Info website, you can find info on topics such as the asylum process, legal rights, healthcare, education, work and many more, including services available in Uganda by organizations that offer assistance and support. 

Our goal is to address the information gap that often exists for refugees, provide support, help people access services, and exercise their rights.

Uganda currently hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa at 1,578,661, mainly from South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Somalia, Burundi, Eritrea and Ethiopia. Up-to-date, accurate, reliable, timely and accessible information is one of the greatest challenges facing refugees in Uganda. This exposes them to multiple risks including exploitation, harm, misinformation, and lack of basic and other services.

How we work
