True story from the Umoja ni Nguvu RC savings group in Nyarugusu Refugee CampTen years have passed since this Congolese man sitting alongside me in a church in the Nyaragusu refugee camp settled his life here. However, this was far from the time he has spent in refugee communities.

Back then, he was only eleven years old, when he was supposed to continue studying in primary school and live a childhood without fear.
