3 April 2022, Palorinya settlement, Obongi district, Uganda: A woman reads the Bible during Sunday service at the Macedonia church in Palorinya refugee settlement, West Nile area of northern Uganda. Following the eruption of war in South Sudan, the Diocese of Kajo-Keji in the country’s Central Equatoria State, decided to move with some 350 congregants to seek refuge in neighboring Uganda. The diocese is since hosted under the auspices of the Diocesan office of the Anglican Church in Moyo, Uganda, and is able to continue to gather and worship as a congregation in the Palorinya settlement. The Palorinya refugee settlement, in Obongi district, West Nile area of northern Uganda, hosts more than 128,000 refugees, the majority of which arrived following the eruption of war in South Sudan in 2013. Palorinya is the second largest refugee settlement in Uganda. The refugees and host communities in the area receive support from the Lutheran World Federation World Service program in Uganda.
