Joining us this week is Ntakamaze (TK) Nziyonvira, CEO of CIYOTA, an organisation empowering youth in Uganda. TK's journey began in the Democratic Republic of Congo, fleeing the horrors of war at just 11 years old. Finding refuge in Uganda, he navigated the challenges of being a young refugee. Despite the initial lack of motivation for education, TK persevered, driven by his father's guidance. Winning scholarships, he pursued education in Uganda and later in the United States.
With over 36 million refugees globally, TK highlights the importance of equipping refugees with tools—capacity, knowledge and skills—to empower them to contribute to society. Collaborations between organisations like Street Child and refugee-led initiatives such as CIYOTA foster sustainable solutions to global challenges. TK challenges misconceptions about refugees, emphasising their untapped potential. Refugees aren't solely dependents; they possess skills and abilities, what they don’t have are opportunities.
Join us for an insightful conversation on resilience, empowerment, and the untapped potential within refugee communities, as TK shares his remarkable journey and vision for a brighter future for youth worldwide.
