In Kigali refugees thrive and give back to the city
UNHCR Rwanda
Description
Inspired by Kigali’s green vision and policies that allow refugees to work, Annick Iriwacu started a thriving business selling clean energy gas cylinders. She fled violence in Burundi in 2015 with hardly anything. In Rwanda’s capital, she has found an opportunity to provide for her family and give back to the city that gave her hope.
