UNHCR Tanzania

📢 Empowering refugees with knowledge! Voluntary repatriation promotion campaign is ongoing in the camps this week. We're sharing vital information on conditions in Burundi & opportunities in Tanzania for returnees, helping 🇧🇮 refugees make informed choices about their future.

It takes strength to heal. To build. To choose peace in a world fractured by conflict. Nelson Mandela's words resonate as strong today as they ever have. On #MandelaDay, we honour his legacy of fighting for justice, dignity and equality.

When you visit countries and communities devastated by conflicts and violence, and listen to people forced to flee, you can only agree with late Madiba: “It is easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build”. #Peace #Dignity #MandelaDay
