JRS Uganda has two locations. There are two offices in Kampala and one office in Adjumani in the Westnile Region. In Kampala, JRS has well-established projects that support urban refugees. To be able to serve a wide community of urban refugees within the city, a satellite office was established in Rubaga, a Kampala suburb. In Adjumani JRS supports refugees, asylum seekers, and the most vulnerable host community members reaching out to the neighboring district Obongi.
JRS offers services in basic needs, education, mental health & psychosocial support, livelihoods, socio-economic integration, pastoral care and peacebuilding and reconciliation. These services enable refugees and asylum seekers to integrate into host communities. This approach, combined with Uganda’s progressive refugee laws and freedoms, allows refugees to become self-reliant and be treated with dignity.
