Where We Work

East Africa

In the fall of 2001, FilmAid International launched programming in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in North Western Kenya at the request of the UNHCR and IRC. By 2004 FilmAid was working in the Mtendeli and Nduta camps in Tanzania and the Dadaab camps in Eastern Kenya. With shorter term projects also active in Sudan, Uganda and Yemen, East Africa quickly became FilmAid’s largest area of operations. Read More »

Asia

FilmAid Asia is a Hong Kong registered charity and furthers FilmAid's work in the Asia region. It was established in July 2011 following highly successful pilot projects in Thailand's Mae La refugee camp, one of nine camps located on the country's western border with Burma which hosts more than 150,000 refugees. These camps were established in 1984 in response to the influx of refugees fleeing Burma's military action against its indigenous ethnic population. In 2008, the camps saw a further influx of refugees following Cyclone Nargis which was one of the deadliest storms in recorded history. Read More »
