Reunite Refugee with Family
One-way Refugees Welcome! supports refugee agencies is by helping individual families reunite with family still trapped in dangerous situations. The picture attached is of Kenneth's wife and daughter.
Kenneth is a true message of courage and resilience. His journey reflects both endurance and hope. Enduring the darkest journeys and injustices he faced in his home country and he believes in the hope to rise and thrive again. He was born in Uganda, a country with a historic trajectory marred with tyranny and dictatorship.
He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Conflict Resolution and Peace Building. He’s an activist for Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights. Sympathetic to a just cause while working for his country, he was linked to members opposing the Government politically and had him detained, interrogated and tortured.
He fled to the USA for his life and safety. He arrived in the USA in 2015 traumatized, stressed and hopeless. Today, like many other refugees, his asylum claim is still pending. Luckily, Refugees Welcome! was able to connect him to the School of International Training (SIT) who has offered him a two-year scholarship for his Masters in Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding.
In order to ensure that Kenneth can take advantage of this amazing opportunity, Refugee Welcome! is raising money for his family to be with him in the United States while he finishes his degree. It has been nearly two years and he has not seen his daughter since she was two months old. Help reunite Kenneth with his family by donating!
