ABOUT TEAM

Patrick studied mechanical engineering in Goma at ITIG, this is where his love for architectural design comes from. Nakivale Refugee Settlement has been a canvas for him, a place to express his passion for designing unique constructions such as bottles houses, geodesic domes and even an Amphitheatre. He also co-founded NakivART, a project that showcases and supports artwork in Nakivale, in 2014. His artworks include paintings, sculptures and comic books illustrating various topics refugees can relate to – such as his 2014 book Stella, which discusses how to deal with trauma. He joined SINA Uganda in 2015 to learn more about entrepreneurship, mentoring and coaching. The following year he co-founded Opportunigee to help young refugees in Nakivale become entrepreneurs and job creators. He has a certificate in Peace building and Trauma healing from Pax Cultura.
