How is Uganda’s largest refugee camp changing lives through performing arts?

Africa Daily

About this episode

“I believe that when I sing things will change and we shall have a bright future. We are going to be the ambassadors of change for our country South Sudan." War and displacement leave scars that go beyond the physical. In Bidibidi, one of the world’s largest refugee settlements, many struggle with trauma, substance abuse, and uncertainty. Bidibidi is home to over 250,000 refugees but a performing arts centre is helping refugees find healing, and hope for a better future, through music, dance, and theatre. Alan Kasujja speaks to Victor Aluonzi, who helped bring the project to life, as well as South Sudanese refugees Moses Modi and Mary Nadia, who find comfort in the arts.
