One of the settlements created for Polish civilian refugees who left the USSR in 1942 with General Anders' Army was a refugee camp in Bigwa (now a suburb of Morogoro) for about 200 people. The buildings previously occupied by a prisoner of war camp for Italians were used. These were whitewashed thatched cottages. There was a primary school and an orphanage run by nuns, as well as a day care centre and a hospital (the unfavourable climatic conditions caused malaria cases, for example). The settlement operated from 1942 to 1945. There are 8 Polish graves in the local cemetery. Behind the graves an obelisk was erected with a metal cross with the inscription: "TO THE POLISH COMPATRIOTS 1944-1945". The whole is surrounded by a high curb. It was not possible to locate the two burials of twin brothers brought here to the hospital in 1949 after the settlement had already been closed - seven-month-old Ryszard and Tadeusz Wag, born in the Tengeru settlement. They are probably buried elsewhere in this cemetery or in another necropolis in Morogoro. An approximately 3-metre high obelisk topped with the likeness of an eagle has been erected on the site of the present monastic secondary school, commemorating the Polish settlement that was located there. The text of the inscription is as follows: "POLISH SETTLEMENT MOROGORO ESTABLISHED 25 VI 1944". The obelisk was restored in 2000. Thanks to a grant from the Council for the Protection of Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom, the renovation of the Polish quarters in the Bigwa cemetery was carried out in 1996. After several repairs carried out later, the last renovation of the quarters was carried out in 2018 with funds from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dar-es-Salaam, which takes permanent care of the cemetery.
