Before moving to Cazale, Andrena lived in a village with her three sons and daughter. As armed groups began taking over nearby areas—burning homes, stealing belongings, and harming residents—Andrena feared for her family’s safety. She left and stayed with a friend in a neighborhood of Cazale for 13 days. But without resources, and with her friend struggling to provide for both families, hunger became a real threat. She then moved with her children to the refugee camp at the Cazale National School, hoping for a better situation. However, the crowded environment and constant tension made life difficult. Andrena was used to peaceful living, and adjusting to life in the camp was hard.

Thankfully, RHFH was able to provide food, soap, and free medical care for her and her children. She says that this support truly helped save their lives during a critical time.

When Andrena requested help to rent a quiet place where her family could feel at peace, RHFH helped her move into a home. That moment brought her a sense of dignity—now, when someone asks where she lives, she no longer has to say “the refugee camp.”

Andrena is deeply grateful for the support, saying it’s helped her and her children live with more comfort and hope. She still faces challenges, including the sadness of watching her children stay home while others go to school. She asks for your prayers that doors will open and her children can return to school and enjoy the same opportunities as other kids.
