Between 2010 and 2017, the Taizé community in Nairobi collaborated with TUSA: a community organization that welcomes and supports refugee families from the Great Lakes region - Burundi, Congo and Rwanda - as part of the training of young refugees. In 2022 and 2023, the community provided support for emergency shelter and schooling for children from refugee families. TUSA is organized into supportive communities in neighborhoods.
