It was established in 2015 to provide shelter and support to Burundian refugees who had fled their country due to political instability and violence.

[1] The camp was officially reopened in October 2015, coinciding with the onset of the rainy season when approximately 20,000 individuals were still residing in communal shelters situated on a floodplain.

From October to December 2015, a total of 27,500 Burundian refugees were relocated from Nyarugusu to Nduta, subsequently being transferred to another camp called Mtendele.

[10][11] Nduta Refugee Camp is equipped with essential facilities such as water and sanitation systems, health clinics, and educational institutions.

Oxfam International, which is a confederation of 20 independent charitable organizations dedicated to addressing global poverty, has been offering valuable material and technical assistance to ensure clean drinking water, construct latrines, and educate the refugee community about the vital role of proper hygiene in disease prevention.
