Our Story
The Refugee Innovation Centre, launched in March 2016, brings IT and social entrepreneur workshops to the Rwamwanja refugee settlement in Kamwenge, Uganda. Rwamwanja is a large settlement, where many refugees from the war in the Eastern DRC have been living for years. With little opportunity for employment, our youth sit idle. We had to act.
We began on a shoestring, working in collaboration with local initiatives to provide quality
workshops, with great success. Our goal is to provide our peers with the confidence, knowledge and skills to integrate into local economies, alleviate widespread poverty and the traumas of conflict.
Through peer-to-peer models of development and capacity building, we aim to collaborate and create positive impact in our community.
