Having met Cedric earlier this year on one of our video and photography productions in Nakivale with Rotary International, I was fascinated with this hardworking young man’s zeal to produce videos. Just to let you know, Nakivale is one of the oldest and biggest refugee settlements in Uganda. The settlement is located 60km from Mbarara through Isingiro District in Western Uganda.
Nakivale is full of young people like you and me but with less chances to see their dreams come true.
Special thanks
Thanks to Bekah Raleigh, the Producer on this Kat Graham visit that put Cedric in touch with Angela Eifert and the Malaika Media crew. Angela played a key role to find him well-wishers, Ben and Nancy, who availed funds to support Cedric get accommodation near the Malaika Media office in Kampala

Mentoring makes a difference, especially for refugees
The benefits of mentoring are myriad. For individuals, studies show that good mentoring can lead to greater career success, including promotions, raises, and increased opportunities. Lets talk about increasing opportunities, Young people in refugee settlements have less opportunities than their counterparts, and its therefore the biggest reason we want to make this world a better place by supporting refugees like Cedric
