“My name is Kena. In 2018, my father was killed by unknown gunmen, and my family was displaced, left struggling to survive. At 23, I dropped out of school and lived with fear, shame, and hopelessness. My self‑esteem was shattered, and I carried deep anger and guilt. When I joined Ndabuchiseh’s training program, I was assessed and guided through counselling, peace practices, and livelihood skills. Gradually, I began to see my trauma as part of my past rather than a continuing threat. I regained my confidence, rebuilt my dignity, and found new purpose. Today, I proudly engage other young people in peaceful activities, turning my pain into a source of hope and inspiration. Ndabuchiseh gave me the chance to heal and the courage to help others do the same.”
