Refugee Innovation Centre (RIC) was created in 2016 by a Congolese refugee named Olivier Nkunzurwanda. Refugee Innovation Centre first operations were in Rwamwanja Refugee Settlementin Uganda. It is a Social Enterprise located in Western Uganda in Kamwenge District. RIC aims to break the poverty cycle by empowering young refugees, offering a space to learn digital skills, gain access to information and apply for better job opportunities. One outcome has been that young adolescent refugee girls in the settlement have learned about menstrual hygiene, and RIC has been able to provide them with reusable sanitary pads kits for annual use. RIC also makes bicycles available for transport and to help access support for elders, orphans and people living with disabilities within the settlement.
