Other facilities inside the camp include children toys, library and a workshop for different practical skills and sanitation programmes in the camp.<\/p>\n<p>Worth $640,000 (about Rwf500,000,000), the facilities were funded by the Japanese Government.<\/p>\n<p>The Ambassador of Japan in Rwanda, Takayuki Miyashita said that they were pleased with implementing their idea which will promote welfare of refugees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found it necessary to help them so that life could run smoothly. We support people who are in bad conditions. We are happy that our project was well implemented,\u201d Miyashita said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that they were committed to supporting refugees overcome tough life challenges they are enduring in the camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis camp is big; people are congested and live in a flat surface which is why they need sanitation. Hygiene is very crucial because when a neighbor gets sick, it can directly affect others, that is why we supported existing sanitation programmes. Children grow every day, we need to support them so that they will have bright future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>UNICEF Country Director, Ted Maly said that they found it necessary to help refugee children live the same life as others from the communities around. He said that they want to shape children\u2019s future so that they will be self-reliant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to see children study by using computers; we all know the importance of computers in development. When children are out of classroom too, they need good compound for leisure and entertainment. We much value refugee children\u2019s welfare,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Representative to Rwanda, Ahmed Baba Fall hailed the support saying that it will help the camp continue to be the best in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMahama is among best African Refugee Camps. When you consider its position and standard, it is the modern camp compared to others in Africa,\u201d Baba said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Baba said that sustainable solution would be to solve security problems in Burundi to enable refugees be repatriated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-23082 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/jpn.jpg\"
