The Congolese Urban Refugee Community (CURC) is a refugee-led, non-profit organization established to support, empower, and unite refugees living in urban areas of Uganda. Founded out of the real needs and lived experiences of refugee families, CURC serves as a bridge between the refugee population and humanitarian actors, ensuring that the voices of refugees are heard, respected, and included in decisions that affect their lives.
We work with a strong commitment to protection, dignity, inclusion, and community-driven development, focusing on practical solutions to the daily challenges urban refugees face ranging from access to services, social integration, safety, livelihood opportunities, and community participation.
As a recognized community structure led by elected representatives, CURC brings together diverse community leaders, youth, women, and specialized groups. Our work is grounded in local knowledge, lived experience, and close engagement with members of the Congolese refugee community across Kampala and surrounding areas.
