Kabazana, Isingiro, Uganda
494th International Cities of Peace
To Bring Light to a Child’s Life
“Our vision: A world where every refugee and host community, child and woman is empowered and given opportunities to learn, create, and teach without limits.” Kabazana Village recorded an official population of 1,147 residents.75% Burundians, 21% Congolese, and 4% Rwandans. Among other safety risks are highway carjackings or armed robberies by regional bandits, which means long-distance road travel should strictly be limited to daylight hours. YET, the residents of this Refugee Settlement are hopeful! “To create a bridge where a child and a woman can pass for good success b) To bring a light to a child and a woman’s life so that, they can smile again and find peace within themselves c) To rebuild the heart of an orphan…” Many International Cities of Peace are in places where there is little need for worry. Many more International Cities of Peace are where dangers are present and much needs to be addressed. We help, but the residents are the ones who can succeed.
