Bomoko Refugee Support Network (BRSN) is a pioneering, Refugee-led coalition founded in 2026 in Uganda. It unites five Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) to shift the paradigm of aid from dependency to self-reliance. The name "Bomoko" means "Unity" in the local language, reflecting our core philosophy that collective strength is the most effective tool for overcoming systemic barriers facing displaced communities.

Bomoko BRSN is headquartered in Kampala, Uganda. Our programs reach refugee communities across multiple districts in Uganda, including Kampala, and other settlements where our member organizations operate.

Bomoko Refugee Support Network was established in 2026 by association of RLO leaving in Kampala, Uganda.
