Africa Regional Chapter

The Africa RHP regional chapter is committed to helping the local church and  communities faced with refugee and internally displaced people groups on major highways, as a result of  on-going and post conflicts  in parts of Africa ( e.g. South Sudan and  Abyei region of Sudan,  Cote D’ivoire,  Horn of  and Eastern Regions of Africa faced with all forms of humanitarian crisis).

The Africa regional chapter  is  to facilitate and support the formation of national and  regional teams (i.e. in  Eastern and  Horn of Africa, Central, Southern and West Africa sub-regions), in order to address issues and challenges affecting  refugees and the internally displaced communities due to the effects of conflicts and other natural and  human-made disaster prone in Africa (and globally).

Recognizing the fact that there are many causes why thousands of people are  desperate and sometimes forced to flee or be uprooted from  their homes, and therefore end up as refugees or internally displaced, the Africa RHP chapter is  to analyze and document  the causes of violent conflicts and effects on fleeing communities,   mobilize and inform partners, explore strategies, develop programs, collaborate and network with willing relief and development partners locally and globally. Sub-regional teams are to  assist and empower  churches and communities in situations of violent and post conflicts, and help affected groups respond effectively to any future or current.
