#''The Dignity Kwanza Method'' In this game we read and see the stories of urban refugees living in Dar es Salaam. It provides practioners working with these refugees with tools to guide them in the process of regularizing their legal status. By placing oneself in the shoes of the refugees, the player better understands the challenges urban refugees face and is invited to think of possible solutions. More than just fostering empathy, this game is an invitation to reflect on current practices and lived realities. Its goal is to trigger critical discussion, turning it into an excellent tool to employ in interactive workshops attended by different types of audiences. Even if this game is based on real facts, names and places are fictional so that the stories do not correspond one on one to the stories of real people. In this way we guarantee the anonymity of Dignity Kwanza's clients. --- //This pilot version has been designed by Jochem Scheelings in collaboration with DIGNITY Kwanza (Janemary Ruhundwa, Mwajabu Khalid, Bishara Msallam), VALUE (Angus Mol) and Universteit Leiden (Catherina Wilson and Mirjam de Bruijn) and TRAFIG.// (set: $Story_Select to (random: 1,2)) (if: $Story_Select is 1 and $S1_Completed is false) [[[ #''Read a Story''->Story #1]]] (if: $Story_Select is 2 and $S2_Completed is false) [[[ #''Read a Story''->Story #2]]] (if: $Story_Select is 3 and $S3_Completed is false) [[[ #''Read a Story''->Story #3]]] (set: $Challenge_Met to false) (set: $Reasons_Met to false) (set: $Needs_Met to false) (set: $Legal_Met to false) (set: $Score_Timer to 1)

''Dignity Kwanza Offices, (current-date:)'' NAME: Kanika Mukendi AGE:24 PLACE: Kutajam DEPENDANTS:2 STATUS: Recognized refugee with a permit to stay in Dar es Salaam LEVEL OF EDUCATION: None Kanika Mukendi, a Congolese, was born in the year 1997 in Boeli, Congo, a family of three children, she has two younger sisters. Her father and mother lived in Goba. Her parents got divorced and she had to live with her father. (if:$Reasons_Met is false)[[[What are your reasons for fleeing to Tanzania?->S1 - Reasons]]] (if:$Challenge_Met is false)[[[What challenges are you facing right now?->S1 - Challenges]]] (set: $Story_Started to true)

//"What are your reasons for fleeing to Tanzania?"// Mukendi came from a region in Congo where the //mai-mai// were active. Her parents divorced and her father died suddenly of unknown medical causes when she was between the age of twelve and thirteen. Her mother left to Saaika and left her alone to take care of her younger sisters. Mukendi moved in with her aunt, which put them at risk to be taken by the //mai-mai// rebels. Her aunt had not been able to put Mukendi and her sisters through school in Congo and as the mai-mai were about to come to their village, she was forced to tell Mukendi to move on. Mukendi travelled east for some time until she met a Tazanian man named Andwele, who promised to take her and her sisters in if she married him. Andwele and Mukendi travelled to Tanzania together some time in 2018. [[Tell me more about Andwele.->S1 - Choice #1]] [[Explain your difficulties with finding education.->S1 - Choice #2]] [[Elaborate on the situation with your family.->S1 - Choice #3]]

//What challenges are you facing right now?// Mukendi is unemployed and has been relying on the charity of the local church for financial support. The situation back in Congo with the //mai-mai// and staying with her aunt prevented her from seeking education enrolment at a young age and the turbulence of life has stifled her efforts since. Locals can detect her nationality through her Congolese pronounciation of certain words. The whereabouts of Mukendi's mother are currently unknown to her. She has recently begun making soap for the church but her customers buy on credit and delay her payment. Her professional interest lies in clothesmaking, but pursuing a vocational education in that field is too expensive. [[Inform us more about your struggle with education.->S1 - Choice #4]] [[Explain more about your mother.->S1 - Choice #5]] [[Tell us about your aspiration in clothesmaking.->S1 - Choice #6]]

//Tell me more about Andwele.// Mukendi explains that when arriving in Dar Es Salaam, Andwele rented her and her sisters a house and instructed them not to talk to anyone. He brought them groceries and any other goods they needed. Talking to others was difficult for her even if she had not been instructed to stay silent. Eight months went by until Andwele and Mukendi were visited by an angry woman. She yelled at Andwele and Mukendi did not understand what was happening. Eventually a neighbor communicated to her that Andwele had already been married and it dawned on Mukendi that he had been keeping her a a mistress. This terminated her ability to rely on Andwele. Mukendi sought help from a local church. Mukendi considered going back to her home country, but due to political and civil unrest she was forced to stay and decided to seek asylum in Tanzania. [[I see.->S1 - Reason Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +1)}

//Explain your difficulties with finding education.// Mukendi comes from a very patriarchical household. Her Father considered education for his daughters a waste of time as they were to be married off and that would not benefit the family directly. Due to her difficult time here in Tanzania so far, Mukendi has not been able to fund her own education either. [[As the head of her own household, she needs to be able to stand on her own two feet.->S1 - Reason Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +2)}

//Elaborate on the situation with your family.// (text-style:"italic","condense")[“After my father’s death, I did not know where my mother was, I had no one to stay with so I had to move in at my aunt's house because she was the family I knew”.] Mukendi and her sisters lived a very stressful life with her aunt, as they were targeted by the //mai-mai// and could not defend themselves. Living in hiding withouy security meant that going to school was difficult, so neither Mukendi nor her sisters could finish their education. After a few months the risk of the mai-mai coming to the village where Mukendi and her aunt were staying became too great, so they had to leave the aunt's house and were separated. Mukendi and her sisters lived on the streets in Congo since then. This situation is why Mukendi eventually came to Tanzania, with Andwele. [[A tough time for her.->S1 - Reason Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +3)}

//Inform us more about your struggle with education.// Mukendi never went to school because her father prioritized male children over female children. According to him, male children will grow up to be head of the family and help their families while female children when they grow up will get married and will no longer be part of the family, so they will not be able to help their them. As she was explaining it, she looked very disappointed by the choices made by her father towards her future because she had high hopes and did not imagine herself ending in such situation she is at this time.

Her whereabouts are unknown and as far as we know her mother has not made any efforts to get in touch with Mukendi either. [[Finding her might not help immediately, but could give closure.->S1 - Challenge Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +5)}

//Tell us about your aspiration in clothesmaking.// When Mukendi was in Congo, she developed passion for clothesmaking. She had a neighbor that was a tailor and would spend most of her time at their house. She enjoyed looking at them sewing clothes and from observation, she was able to know how to sew. As she explained; (text-style:"italic","condense")[“Most of my free time, when I was done with my choirs at home, I used to visit my neighbor that was a tailor. She used to allow me to sew some pieces of fabrics which she no longer used and at her free time she would look at my clothes and comment on them, that was how I was able to sew clothes till now”.] Financial troubles have so far prevented Mukendi from becoming a licensed tailor in Tanzania.

''Dignity Kwanza Offices, (current-date:)'' NAME: Kanika Mukendi AGE:24 PLACE: Dar Es Salaam DEPENDANTS:2 STATUS: Asylum Seeker (lack of documentation) LEVEL OF EDUCATION: None Mukendi called to let us know that her legal status as a refugee in Tanzania has been suspended due to her no longer being able to afford a National Identification Authority card. A dramatic price hike in permit costs has made maintaining her legal status impossible. Furthermore, her clothesmaking business is now in jeopardy as she is working without a legal visa and certification. [[We need to find a solution.->S1 - Solution Finding]]

Mukendi wishes to receive assistance from UNHCR as she does not have money for her permit. Going to the MHA would be equal to put herself at risk of arrest or deportation. Mukendi's life now depends on assistance from good samaritans, charity organisations and the church. Dignity Kwanza can help her in finding an alternative way to regularise her status in Tanzania. The follow-up interview begins with the following questions; (if:$Legal_Met is false)[[[How can we help you with your legal status?->S1 - Legality Issue]]] (if:$Needs_Met is false)[[[What can be done to meet your basic needs?->S1 - Basic Needs]]]

//How can we help you with your legal status?// Mukendi's alternative legal status in Tanzania depends on her getting a permit. In the process, there is no room for UNHCR or any organization to intervene, except that organizations can assist and advise the refugee in filing the paperwork. The Tanzanian government used to issue "peasant permits" until 2012, which were relatively cheap. This process has since been discontinued and expenses for permits have gone up dramatically. Friends of Mukendi told her she and her sisters could manage to live in Dar-es-Salaam if only they continued to live in hiding, avoid getting into trouble, quarrels or any kind of misunderstandings with the locals and no one will know that they are refugees. A decision has to be made on which track Mukendi should be sent on. [[We will contact the UNHCR.->S1 - Choice #10]] [[Have her attend our workshops to improve her self-reliance.->S1 - Choice #11]] [[Perhaps the Church can help.->S1 - Choice #12]] [[Contact charity organisations and the local Congolese community.->S1 - New Choice #1]]

//What can be done to meet your basic needs?// Dignity Kwanza can mediate with Mukendi's social circle to see if there are things that can be provided to her which would improve her situation. While the UN and the Tanzanian government handle her legal status, we can provide small-time solutions to make life a little easier. [[Ask the CCT to help Mukendi.->S1 - Choice #7]] [[Contact REDESO.->S1 - Choice #8]] [[See if the church can provide aid.->S1 - Choice #9]]

//Ask the CCT to help Mukendi.// Mukendi's passion for making clothes made the Congolese community leaders buy her a sewing machine which she now owns as her own. Because she had no other means of making a living, this became her primary source of income. The Congo church is happy to employ her despite her techinically being unqualified until such time when she can get the proper documents. [[Very good.->S1 - Needs Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +7)}

//"Contact REDESO."// After Mukendi received legal assistance from Dignity Kwanza, she was directed to the Relief to Development Society that is providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and asylum seekers. Despite receiving legal assistance, Mukendi has not been able to legalize her status because she is unwilling to go to a refugee camp. According to the Tanzania Refugee Act all refugees are required to reside in designated areas/refugee camps and she insists on staying in Dar es Salaam. Conditions in the refugee camp are not what Mukendi expected.Mukendi has been depending on others her whole life and wants to become independent for once, to be supportive to her sisters and to contribute to society. She was used to living in a house in Dar Es Salaam and moving to a refugee camp proved too much for her. It would seem that this is not going to help her any further. [[How Unfortunate.->S1 - Needs Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +8)}

//See if the church can provide aid.// With Dignity Kwanza's help the Congolese community at the church in Assabas started to take care of Mukendi's younger sisters. This has lifted a great burden from her shoulders as she can now focus on improving her own life situation first so that she may take care of others in the future. The church community's Tanzanian believers also donated a plot of land which will be exploited soon, so this may provide Mukendi with a source of income and sustenance. [[Thank God.->S1 - Needs Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +9)}

//We will contact the UNHCR.// With the help of Dignity Kwanza, Mukendi could write a letter to the UNHCR requesting international protection and recognition of her legal status as a refugee. This will prevent the Tanzanian government from persecuting or deporting her as per international law. Her situation as a vulnerable migrant does not presently allow the UNHCR to extend protection to her, though. Immigrants fleeing from war or persecution would be able to become legally recognised refugees if they stay in a camp, but Mukendi is fleeing from hard times rather than war or famine. Regrettably enough, this means this option is not for her. [[How unfortunate.->S1 - Legality Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +10)}

//Have her attend our workshops to improve her self-reliance.// Through Dignity Kwanza Mukendi was able to attend many different workshops such as women empowerment programs, human rights for refugees. The workshops helped her to be creative and taught her valuable skills to improve her clothesmaking business. Mukendi's earnings have increased enough to grant her a measure of financial independence. She started selling clothes door-to-door and met two Tanzanians who offered to rent her a room. [[Wonderful.->S1 - Legality Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +11)}

//Perhaps the Church can help.// Mukendi met with one of the church assistants, a fellow Congolese woman. They got to know each other and became friends. After some days, they decided to live together at Mbagala, in a rented room. Anna had no work to earn her some money so her friend was the one that was paying for their rent and their meals. Their church shifted from Assabas to Vukile because one of the church believers gave one of a plot of land to the church as a tribute to God, so church leaders decided to build another church there. Due to this decision, Mukendi and her friend also decided to move to Vukile to be near the church. Before their rent expired, her friend was no longer able to pay rent for the other month so they approached the church priestess for assistance and they were given a room in Vukile, near the church to stay for free.

''Dignity Kwanza Offices, (current-date:)'' NAME: Kanika Mukendi AGE:24 PLACE: Dar Es Salaam DEPENDANTS:2 STATUS: Asylum Seeker (undocumented) LEVEL OF EDUCATION: None While Kanika Mukendi has not managed to become a recognised refugee with the UNHCR, Dignity Kwanza will continue to assist woth legal advice wherever she needs it. In the meantime the CCT and other good Samaritans have embraced her and aided her in finding a way to sustain herself. To close this case, the game will now go over the various elements of Mukendi's story and see where Dignity Kwanza helped her the best. You will also be evaluated on your performance. [[How well did you assess the situation?->S1 - Criterion #1]]

//How well did you assess the situation?// Kanika Mukendi had to deal with the loss of contact with her mother, providing for her two younger sisters, obtaining proof of her qualification as a clothesmaker, finding a permanent residence and obtaining a legal permit to remain in Tanzania.

//Has their legal status been resolved?// The Tanzanian legislation surrounding refugees has changed a lot over the years. Before 2014 Mukendi would have been able to apply for a Peasant Permit. The Peasant Permit was a two year, renewable permit issued by the Tanzanian government to long-standing refugees and asylum seekers. Historically, these permits were issued exclusively in the Magoki region, home to Tanzania’s encamped refugee population. However, due to the advocacy efforts of different NGOs that are dealing with refugees in Tanzania, in November 2011 the Tanzanian government expanded the issuance of Peasant Permits to immigrants living outside of traditional “refugee designated” regions. The Peasant Permit legalized refugees and asylum seekers’ status and allowed them to engage freely in income generating activities without fear of arrest or refoulement. In 2011, the Immigration Services Department of MHA granted affordable two-year permits, known as peasant permits, to undocumented migrants in Dar es Salaam who had been living in Tanzania for more than two years. In 2014, the Peasant Permit was discontinued. Managing the legal status of refugess is now largely up to the UNHCR. Communication between them and NGO's willing to assist refugees is therefore important. The process of attaining a permit can be lengthy and difficult however, so alternate solutions in the CCT are also an option at times.

''Dignity Kwanza Offices, (current-date:)'' NAME: Boniface Mwenda AGE:32 PLACE: Shaaru DEPENDANTS:0 STATUS: Unregistered/Asylum seeker LEVEL OF EDUCATION: BACHELOR IN BIBLICAL STUDIES Boniface Mwenda is Congolese. He is the third son of a Chief of Jawinlu (South Vuki, DR Congo). He fled from his home country in 2005 to come to Tanzania seeking for asylum. He is part of the Mwami family (a royal family), traditional leaders who work with the central government of Congo. Mwenda’s grand-father (a chief) had three wives and his father was the son of the 1st wife. One of his brothers, the son of the third wife used to fight a lot with Mwenda’s father for the chief's throne. But, since it was a tradition that the first son of the family inherits the chieftaincy, after the death of the chief, Mwenda’s father became a chief. Filled with jealousy, the brother of the third wife, Mwenda’s uncle, joined with the //mai mai// rebels and overthrew his brother from his position, so that he would become Chief of Jawinlu. (if:$Reasons_Met is false)[[[What are your reasons for fleeing to Tanzania?->S2 - Reasons]]] (if:$Challenge_Met is false)[[[What challenges are you facing right now?->S2 - Challenges]]] (set: $Story_Started to true)

//What are your reasons for fleeing to Tanzania?// Mwenda’s uncle and the //mai mai// rebels succeeded in killing Mwenda's father and his entire family was targeted. At the time of the rebellion Mwenda was risiding in Bingi where they thought to be safe, but the //mai mai// were after Mwenda's grandmother (the Mwami's first wife) as well and found them soon after. Congo had become so unsafe for Mwenda and so many of his relatives were killed that he fled to Magoki by boat and arrived in Tanzania without any legal permit. The //mai mai// spread chaos in the part of the Congo Mwenda was from and without his father the central government could not take back control. [[Tell us more about the //mai mai//.->S2 - Choice #16]] [[Explain your position in the order of chieftaincy.->S2 - Choice #17]] [[Ask Mwenda about his remaining family.->S2 - Choice #18]]

//What challenges are you facing right now?// Mwenda's status as an unregistered refugee has caused people to treat him differently. For instance, one day she was playing //upatu// with his neighbor’s. In this game a certain amount of money is collected and given to one person and the next day another person will receive the money until the whole circle is finished and the game begins again. Mwenda was the 7th person in the list supposed to receive the money. As his turn arrived, the others did not want to give him the money. They accused him of being a refugee, who could leave the country at any time; how would he then pay his contribution? Making money has also been difficult for Mwenda. After arriving in Magoki he met a travelling merchant with whom he began selling //vitenge// but this has rendered his education irrelevant so far. Mwenda wants to become a priest in a church. Despite the //mai mai// backing a schism in Mwenda's family he still has strong ties with the Mwami, more so than anything he has built up in Tanzania so far. [[Look into ways to assist Mwenda with his status.->S2 - Choice #13]] [[See if the church community in Dar Es Salaam can help.->S2 - Choice #14]] [[Maybe gaining a foothold in the local community will be beneficial.->S2 - Choice #15]]

//Look into ways to assist Mwenda with his status.// With the help of Dignity Kwanza, Mwenda can write a letter to the UNHCR requesting international protection and recognition of his legal status as a refugee. This will prevent the Tanzanian government from persecuting or deporting him as per international law. This process is lengthy and liable to get Mwenda rejected however, as he would have to subject himself to resettlement and scrutiny by the Tanzanian government. He would also have to live in a refugee camp where he would have less opportunity to contribute to society than in Dar Es Salaam. We will hear how his appeal went in a follow-up call eventually. [[We will follow up on this later.->S2 - Challenge Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +13)}

//See if the church community in Dar Es Salaam can help.// Dignity Kwanza directed Mwenda to the local Congo church in Dar Es Salaam and he was introduced to a fellow refugee from the south Vuki province. She recognised him as part of the Mwami family and offered to help him out if he mediated in the local Congolese community's affairs. Mwenda was a little relucant at first, having to do the task his family was endangered for, but the community accepted him. [[There is a place here for all of us.->S2 - Challenge Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +14)}

//Maybe gaining a foothold in the local community will be beneficial.// As the Congolese community in Dar Es Salaam has refugees and documented residents with ties to the //mai mai//, Dignity Kwanza considered it best to let Mwenda integrate more into the Tanzanian community. Through workshops and lessons organised by them, Mwenda learned to handle the stigma against him. The next game of //upatu// is sure to be more pleasant than the one Mwenda originally described.

//Tell us more about the mai mai.// According to a 2001 UN report, 20,000 to 30,000 //Mai-Mai// were active in the two Vuki provinces.

Currently most active is a group which is called Mai-Mai Yakutumba, was organized in 2007 by General Yakutumba. The //Mai-Mai// targeted Mwenda and his family especially because of their history of cooperating with the central government, but the traditional community Mwenda's father was leading also suffered greatly in the fighting, with periodic //mai mai// raids coming to take away young boys and girls. [[Blood calls for blood.->S2 - Reason Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +16)}

//Explain your position in the order of chieftaincy.// Mwenda explains that a Mwami is a spokesperson for the population of a particular territory. If he no longer has their confidence, he can be impeached. That happens sometimes, but not often. A mwami is rarely a woman, but there are some. Regional conflicts spurned on by the //mai mai// can be mediated by a Mwami but Mwenda's family from his uncle's side chose to join with the rebels, which tore their collective community apart.

Mwena wishes to receive assistance from UNHCR as he does not have money for her permit. Going to the MHA would be equal to putting himself at risk of arrest or deportation. Mwena's grandmother needs constant care so he cannot reliably do work to sustain himself financially. As such he is dependent on aid from others. The UNHCR and the Relief to Development Society that works closely with the UN could provide him with support as well, but establishing a line of communication with these organisations is up to us. The follow-up interview begins with the following questions; (if:$Legal_Met is false)[[[How can we help you with your legal status?->S2 - Legality Issue]]] (if:$Needs_Met is false)[[[What can be done to meet your basic needs?->S2 - Basic Needs]]]

//How can we help you with your legal status?// In the refugee status determination process, there is no room for UNHCR or any organization to intervene, except that organizations can assist and advise the refugee in writing the appeals. The Tanzanian government used to issue "peasant permits" until 2014, which were relatively cheap. This process has since been discontinued and expenses for permits have gone up dramatically. Mwenda's legal status as a refugee in Tanzania depends on him, getting a permit. Locals told him he could manage to live in Dar-es-Salaam if only they continued to live in hiding, avoid getting into trouble, quarrels or any kind of misunderstandings with the locals and no one will know that they are refugees. This problem extends to his grandmother, neither Mwenda nor her wish to live in a refugee camp for the duration that it would take to be legally recognised as refugees. A decision has to be made on which track Mwenda should be sent on. [[We will contact the UNHCR.->S2 - Choice #22]] [[Have him attend our workshops to improve his self-reliance.->S2 - Choice #23]] [[Perhaps the Tanganyika Christian Refugee Services can help.->S2 - Choice #24]]

//What can be done to meet your basic needs?// Dignity Kwanza can mediate with Mwenda's social circle to see if there are things that can be provided to him which would improve her situation. While the UN and the Tanzanian government handle his legal status, we can provide small-time solutions to make life a little easier. Furthermore Mwenda's grandmother now needs taking care of as well. Finding someone willing to assist with this, as well as proving her with the legally recognised status of refugee via the UNHCR, is going to help Mwenda in the long run. [[Ask the CCT to help Mwenda.->S2 - Choice #19]] [[See to helping Mwenda's grandmother.->S2 - Choice #20]]

//Ask the CCT to help Mwenda.// Mwenda's degree in Biblical studies allowed him to become a pastor at a local church in Shaaru. He gets paid by the Tanzanian head of the church and this allows him to take care of himself and his grandmother. The Congolese community is happy to have a member of the Mwami family serve as a religious head for the local refugees and foreign nationals as well.

//Has their legal status been resolved?// The Tanzanian legislation surrounding refugees has changed a lot over the years. Before 2014 Mwenda would have been able to apply for a Peasant Permit. The Peasant Permit was a two year, renewable permit issued by the Tanzanian government to long-standing refugees and asylum seekers. Historically, these permits were issued exclusively in the Magoki region, home to Tanzania’s encamped refugee population. However, due to the advocacy efforts of different NGOs that are dealing with refugees in Tanzania, in November 2011 the Tanzanian government expanded the issuance of Peasant Permits to immigrants living outside of traditional “refugee designated” regions. The Peasant Permit legalized refugees and asylum seekers’ status and allowed them to engage freely in income generating activities without fear of arrest or refoulement. In 2011, the Immigration Services Department of MHA granted affordable two-year permits, known as peasant permits, to undocumented migrants in Dar es Salaam who had been living in Tanzania for more than two years. In 2014, the Peasant Permit was discontinued. Managing the legal status of refugess is now largely up to the UNHCR. Communication between them and NGO's willing to assist refugees is therefore important. The process of attaining a permit can be lengthy and difficult however, so alternate solutions in the CCT are also an option at times.

Mbanza was born in 1959 at Sembisi village in South-Vuki province. She is the first born out of five children, three men and two women. All of her siblings and parents have passed away. She stayed at Sembisi for 14 years and later went to Bakuvu where she was married to her late husband and she had her first child at the age of 15. (text-style:"italic","condense")[“It is normal for a Congolese woman to get married at the age of fifteen, therefore I was not young according to our customs.”] Mbanza was able to get her primary education but did not continue with her studies because her parents passed away, her mother was killed during the //Maji maji// war in 1960s.

It was very sad to lose him as the head of the family and that’s when our life began to change day after day.”] After her family was assassinated, she went to hide somewhere for a while. The day she returned she found her house was on fire. She believed that there were people trying to kill her too, the same people who killed her other family members. That’s when her pressure began. Regarding such situation her friend advised her to flee to Tanzania. Because she had no money, she decided to go to the church to beg for bus fare to come to Tanzania. The church agreed to help her and in the same year, she boarded a bus to Rusumo, where she stayed there for one day, then she took another bus to Dar es Salaam. She had no problems crossing the border. * [[How have you been surviving in Tanzania?->S3 - Choice #19]] * [[Did the violence pursue you here?->S3 - Choice #20]] * [[Do you have any other relatives you know the whereabouts of?->S3 - Choice #21]]

//What challenges are you facing right now?// Mbanza is having blood pressure issues so she is someone who needs medical treatments from the hospital.

(text-style:"italic","condense")[“Since my health is not well then I cannot work as I used to before. Most of time I use to beg for assistance from church just to get something to eat. Sometimes I take only one meal a day, something which weakens my body.”] Since she is a refugee, she doesn’t want to expose her identity. She keeps things to herself, hides and avoids attracting people’s attention. (text-style:"italic","condense")[“The only place where I am comfortable to expose myself is the church where I get help and the Congolese community here at Dar es Salaam.

//Did the violence pursue you here?// Even though Mbanza is living a hard life in Tanzania, she does not want to return back to her country of origin due to the incidents that happened to her family, like the way her husband was murdered, her children got killed and the loss of her child.

''Dignity Kwanza Offices, [TimeAndDate]'' NAME: Jeta Mbanza AGE: 62 PLACE: Garini DEPENDANTS: 0 STATUS: Unregistered Migrant / Asylum Seeker LEVEL OF EDUCATION: Primary Schooling Jeta Mbanza is sick with hypertension but she does not have money to buy medicine. She wishes to receive assistance from the UNHCR as she does not have money for her medication. But she cannot, as she is not legally registered. Mbanza also found out that the pastor of the church was using her. Once he sent her to Mbeya to buy rice, he only gave her the exact amount to pay for her transport to Mbeya, he did not give her even a single coin to buy food on the way. * [[Try to find solutions->S3 - Solution Finding]]

Mbanza's life now depends on assistance from other people, especially Dignity Kwanza and the Congolese Community in Tanzania. The UNHCR and the Relief to Development Society that works closely with the UN could provide her with support as well, but establishing a line of communication with these organisations is up to us. The follow-up interview begins with the following questions; *(if:$Legal_Met is false)[[[How can we help you with your legal status?->S3 - Legality Issue]]] (if:$Needs_Met is false)[[[What can be done to meet your basic needs?->S3 - Basic Needs]]]

//How can we help you with your legal status?// In the refugee status determination process, there is no room for UNHCR or any organization to intervene, except that organizations can assist and advise the refugee in writing the appeals. The Tanzanian government used to issue "peasant permits" until 2014, which were relatively cheap. This process has since been discontinued and expenses for permits have gone up dramatically. Mbanza's legal status as a refugee in Tanzania depends on her getting a permit. Locals told her she and her sisters could manage to live in Dar-es-Salaam if only they continued to live in hiding, avoid getting into trouble, quarrels or any kind of misunderstandings with the locals and no one will know that they are refugees. A decision has to be made on which track Mbanza should be sent on. * [[We will contact the UNHCR.->S3 - Choice #28]] * [[Have her attend our workshops to improve her self-reliance.->S3 - Choice #29]]

//What can be done to meet your basic needs?// Dignity Kwanza can mediate with Mbanza's social circle to see if there are things that can be provided to her which would improve her situation. While the UN and the Tanzanian government handle her legal status, we can provide small-time solutions to make life a little easier. * [[Ask the CCT to help Mbanza.->S1 - Choice #25]] * [[Contact REDESO.->S1 - Choice #26]] * [[Try to talk things out between Mbanza and the pastor. ->S1 - Choice #27]]

//Ask the CCT to help Mbanza.// Mbanza was asked to become a member of the Congolese Community in Tanzania. This required her to get an Identification card (ID) which is issued by CCT to its members. It helps them if they get caught by the police because if they show that ID to police/immigration office, sometimes they release them or they communicate with their leaders who then go to immigration to bail them out. [[Some community protection.->S3 - Needs Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +25)}

//Contact REDESO.// After Mbanza received legal assistance from Dignity Kwanza, she was directed to the Relief to Development Society that is providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and asylum seekers. Despite receiving legal assistance, Mbanza has not been able to legalize her status because she is unwilling to go to a refugee camp. According to the Tanzania Refugee Act all refugees are required to reside in designated areas/refugee camps and she insists on staying in Dar es Salaam. Conditions in the refugee camp are a lot worse than what Mbanza was used to living in a house in Dar Es Salaam and subjecting her two younger sisters to living in a refugee camp proved too much for her. It would seem that this is not going to help her any further. [[A pity.->S3 - Needs Choice Outcome]] {(set: $Score_Timer to it +26)}

//Try to talk things out between Mbanza and the pastor.// Through mediation by Dignity Kwanza the pastor stopped merely exchanging food for services with Mbanza and offered her some financial compensation for her deeds. This has provided her with a small but stable source of income and has made her regain some trust in the church community as a whole.

A big challenge that Moise is facing is related to work. He cannot work or get any employment despite the fact that he used to be a mechanic in Burundi. On paper refugees may get work. However, the procedure for getting a work permit is that a refugee must have a job offer from an employer first. Then he can use it to apply for work permit. Then, if they think the refugee qualifies, the application will be forwarded to the Ministry responsible for labour who will grant work permit. Many employers, due to ignorance of the law or fear, hesitate to issue a job offer to refugees fearing that they might be contravening with the law by hiring non Tanzanian citizens. Many employers would like to see it the other way round, they want refugees to have work permit first before hiring them. In order to make some money, Moise wants to start a small business. However, because he doesn’t have a small capital he is not able to make the necessary investments. If he would have some money to invest, he would be able to earn more money and this would help to move his family to Tanzania. Another issue is education for his children.
