Mission Statement
To build global peace through direct humanitarian aid to refugees in crisis, create opportunities to establish successful new lives, to heal trauma and establish platforms for peace and collaboration between groups in conflict.
Description
Our main focus:
The Bidi Bidi camp in Uganda - One of the largest refugee camps in the world.
One Light Global sees Bidi Bidi as a place to reinvent the way refugee camps are created - from slum like camps to a sustainable village. Because of Uganda’s policy toward refugees, which allows each family a plot of land, permits employment and allows freedom of movement, new solutions are readily possible here.
We are committed to building revolutionary sustainable village that will empower refugees to collaborate together to create innovative water, food, and housing solutions - as well as receive education, healing, skills and life training, and more.
Our vision is to create a model that can be used worldwide in the creation of camps that will allow refugees to be empowered contributing citizens rather than victims wherever they are. Together with the refugees we are building a sustainable village out of the refugee camp and empowering women refugee entrepreneurs.
