via http://www.huffingtonpost.ca – Of the more than 16,000 refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, and Ethiopia, who live in Dzaleka Refugee Camp just outside of Lilongwe Malawi, the vast majority are women and children.
Opportunities for employment within the camp are scarce, even for the male refugees, so often the women of Dzaleka engage in whatever activities they can to keep busy and make a little extra money. Life in the camp is a day-to-day struggle for survival.
A young woman named Bebe has lived in Dzaleka for more than four years now. A refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she and her husband started a small restaurant not too long ago to try and bring in some income to help support their young daughter.
