Tongogara Refuge Camp is a refugee camp located near Chipinge, Zimbabwe, about 420 km southeast of Harare. It was established in 1984[1][2] after Zimbabwe had become independent from Great Britain, and took in refugees from Mozambique who were fleeing from the war between the government and the Mozambican National Resistance Movement (RENAMO).[3] It is estimated that as many as 58,000 refugees had occupied the camp in 1994.[2] After 1995, many of its members returned to Mozambique, and the camp closed; however, it reopened in 1998 to accommodate refugees from other African countries as well as Europe and Asia.[4] In 2017, the population of the camp was about 10,000.[5] The camp has been supported by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for housing and clothing, and by United Nations World Food Program (WFP) for money and food, UNICEF for hygiene and sanitation, and other organizations such as Terre des hommes in Italy for health care and education.
