Voices of Gihembe Refugee Camp - HEED project

Video interviews carried out in November 2019 in Gihembe Refugee Camp (Rwanda) as part of the visual storytelling material produced for the Humanitarian Engineering and Energy for Displacement (HEED) project - EPSRC EP/P029531/1.

The HEED project is an innovative response to growing recognition of the need to improve access to energy, particularly renewable energy sources, for populations displaced by conflict and natural disasters. The focus of HEED is on the lived experiences of Congolese refugees living for protracted periods of time in three refugee camps in Rwanda and internally displaced persons (IDPs) forced to leave their homes as a result of the 2015 earthquake in Nepal.
These video interviews depict the stories of changes that Congolese refugees living in Gihembe Refugee Camp are experiencing since the HEED project installed communal street lighting and provided free energy access across the camp.
