Uganda Offers Open-Door Hospitality to Refugees

Mugisha Willent, 26, a refugee from the DRC, remembered fleeing Goma in 2000. “All I knew was that there was fighting going on.” Now, “Uganda has given us peace, land and more. I call Uganda home,” she told African Renewal.

This year, Ms. Willent was one of three women to win a Voices of Courage Award from the Women’s Refugee Commission in New York.
