  • Namagero Rose, a South Sudanese refugee from the Kuku ethnic group, serves as chairwoman for a God’s Grace self-help group for women in Palorinya. Offering a safe space for women to counsel each other and heal from their trauma as survivors of war, Rose says the group has helped many women to feel better.  “Some of us had even attempted suicide. But with counselling, we saw that peace could come to our hearts,” she says, while stressing nonetheless the fragility of the current situation for many refugees. The Palorinya refugee settlement, in Obongi district, West Nile area of northern Uganda, hosts more than 128,000 refugees, the majority of which arrived following the eruption of war in South Sudan in 2013. Palorinya is the second largest refugee settlement in Uganda. The refugees and host communities in the area receive support from the Lutheran World Federation World Service program in Uganda.
