Stellah Nikuze is the daughter of Rwanda genocide survivors. Born and brought up in the Kyaka 11 refugee camps in Uganda, she has emerged as a fierce advocate of refugees and the voiceless.
Educated in classrooms with more than 100 children per teacher, she co-founded the Hodari Foundation which focuses on feeding, skilling and healing traumatised children in Uganda.. Now at university in Canada, Stellah turned that fierceness into working with the UN and other world bodies to fight for the rights of refugees wherever they are .
Refugees, she reminds us, are punished twice: first by the warring factions that drive them away from their homes. And then by the host countries who will not let them work and integrate in their new societies.
