Beyond Survival: How Refugees Are Building a Future in Bidi Bidi

Ruth and Gladys are advocates for refugees who share their powerful stories and experiences. Ruth, a refugee from Sudan, discusses her work founding the Refugee Empowerment Program in Memphis and Ebenezer Global in Uganda’s Bidi Bidi camp, which houses over 200,000 people facing dire needs. We explore initiatives that provide vocational training to empower refugees with skills for sustainable livelihoods, as well as the critical role of community and church involvement in supporting these efforts. Their conversation emphasizes the impact of small acts of kindness in transforming lives, encouraging listeners to contribute to positive change for those in need.
