The refugees in Olua II Settlement face challenging conditions and require more extensive assistance relating to livelihood opportunities and education in particular.[2]
Backgroundedit
Originally closed in 2006 following the return of numerous South Sudanese refugees to their home country, Olua I/II was reopened in 2012 to cater to another wave of South Sudanese refugees seeking refuge from inter-communal violence. These settlement inhabitants, much like their fellow refugees in Adjumani district, reside in close proximity to Ugandan citizens and share common services and institutions with the host community. Although peaceful coexistence between the communities is relatively prevalent, the refugees contend with challenging conditions and require more extensive support with regard to livelihood opportunities and education, particularly.[3]
Water access and healthedit
The settlement does not have motorized boreholes and communities, therefore the community relies on hand pumps which creates severe congestion. The health center is a long distance with a broken bridge to Bira Health Center III in case Lewa Health Center does not have the services they need
