Reduced funding from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is jeopardizing the education of over 100,000 refugee children in Rwanda. UNHCR recently announced cuts to funding for food, education, shelter, and healthcare, as efforts to secure the required $90.5 million faced challenges. Many refugee children, including those in boarding schools, are directly affected, with some being denied admission due to unpaid fees. The cuts also impact food cash transfers, leading to hunger among refugee families. The situation underscores the broader issue of funding constraints affecting refugees globally and their access to essential services.
