Burundian Refugee Crisis / Tanzania

Following election violence and a failed coup in 2015 over 150,000 Burundians fled violence and sought safety in Tanzania. Tens of thousands of people sought safety in Tanzania, creating a huge refugee crisis.  

Following the path of the refugees as they fled, I documented the journey they made from the shores of Lake Tanganyika, down to Kigoma, and eventually into the safety of refugee camps in Kigoma region.
