== History == Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement is a refugee camp in Kamwenge District in southwestern Uganda. It is home to nearly 70,000 refugees

The Rwamwanja refugee settlement was originally opened for Rwandan refugees in 1964, and closed in 1995. It was opened again in 2013 in response to the latest influx of refugees due to the ongoing conflict in DRC. It can accomodate up to 50-55,000 people, and is currently home to 36,000.
