  • Togolese refugees work building a mud-brick house in a small village along the Togolese border, Eastern Ghana. Thousands of Togolese citizens crossed the border into Ghana after the violence that followed presidential elections in April 2005. Partly because of strong cultural ties between populations on both sides of the border, Togolese refugees were able to enjoy the relative hospitality of their Ghanaian neighbours, and are today scattered in various villages across the border. The UNHCR complains that, since the refugees aren't concentratred in large camps, media attention has been minimal, and that it has been very difficult to attract funding.

  • Kobenda Walemba, his wife Emerance Masca, and their two children stand in an empty room of the small house they rent for $10 a month in Goma, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday December 15, 2008. The couple has been in Goma for three weeks, which they reached after walking for 9 hours after violence broke out in Kiwanja, where they lived. "We saw that if we went to stay in the camp, we would get diarrhea, we would get sick, because of all the people who stay there," explains Walemba. "We had a little bit of money so we found this house. We don't sleep well, we have no food. To find water to drink is a problem. I hope our children can have a good life."
