U.N. funding cuts to refugees living in Rwanda is threatening the right to education for children in more than 100,000 households who have fled conflict from different East African countries to live in five camps.

A Burundian refugee, Epimaque Nzohoraho, told The Associated Press on Thursday how his son’s boarding school administrator told him his son “should not bother coming back to school,” because UNHCR had stopped paying his fees.

UNHCR spokesperson Lilly Carlisle said that only $33 million had been received by October, adding that “the agency cannot manage to meet the needs of the refugees.” Funding constraints have also hit food cash transfers, which reduced from $5 to $3 per refugee per month since last year. “I have no other option now. I could die of hunger … it’s very hard to get a job as a refugee,” Uwamahoro told the AP.
