Mission Statement
ILalle Hill Organization is dedicated to building a more equitable future for all by providing comprehensive support in refugee orphans’ disability advocacy, healthcare, youth assistance, and education. We aim to create a society where every individual is valued and included, regardless of background and abilities. In addition to serving camp refugees, we will help local refugees with adjustments to life in the United States.
Palabek Refugee Settlement
Palabek Refugee Settlement is one of the newest refugee settlements in Uganda officially set up in April 2016 to reduce congestion in larger refugee camps in the northwestern corner of Uganda. Palabek hosts over 50,000 refugees, primarily from South Sudan, with 85% of arrivals consisting of women and children, according to United Nations Human Development Report.
Gender-based Violence Prevention
Women and girls face challenges of sexual, gender-based violence (SGBV) in the camp. This is one of the worst exposures to the feminine gender, let alone other crimes and the constant endangerment of women and girls in the refugee camp. Women and girls’ lives are marked severe psychological setbacks and trauma.
About Kakuma Refugee Camp
Established in 1992, Kakuma, a town in northwestern Turkana County, Kenya, is the site of a UNHCR refugee camp. In 1991, the camp was established to host unaccompanied minors who had fled the war in Sudan, Somalia and from camps in Ethiopia.
In 2014, the population of Kakuma town was 60,000, having grown from around 8,000 in 1990. An estimated 12,000 Lost Boys and Girls fled here via Egypt in 1990/91. Kakuma is situated in the second poorest region in Kenya, and as a result of this poverty, there are ongoing tensions between the refugees and the local community that has occasionally resulted in violence.
