According to a 2011 UNHCR report, the world’s largest refugee camp was in Dadaab, Kenya with nearly 137,500 inhabitants. The camp—Hagadera—was part of a larger network including more than 453,000 refugees. When Rodrigue Wasanga and his family left the Democratic Republic of Congo, they spent three years in a Zimbabwe refugee camp. When they arrived in the U.S. in 2011, they were among 1,079 other refugees from their native country.
