UgandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a motivated peacebuilder and youth leader with a strong track record in refugee empowerment, social innovation, and conflict transformation.

I am fluent in multiple regional languages and passionate about building inclusive, resilient communities.
Currently, I serve as the Director of Scholar Selection at LNA Uganda, where I lead scholar outreach and evaluation across the country. I conduct training workshops on leadership, critical thinking, and conflict resolution. My volunteer work with organizations like the Refugee Law Project and the International Rescue Committee has further honed my skills in promoting refugee rights and fostering peaceful coexistence.
