I am Albert Juma a Congolese refugee, I was born in D.R.Congo North Kivu Rutshuru district, Ishasha village on 11th 02/1998. In my family of 4 people, I am the second born. I completed both my primary and secondary school in Ishasha Village by 2015. However, I was forced to leave my country due to the war conflict, after completing my senior six later that year. After reaching the refugee camp, we faced many challenges; poverty, unemployment, etc. It is when we got united as youth to start small contribution, where we could sell out a small part of our food received from W.F.P in order to raise money for starting loan and saving activities. I was determined to find innovative ways to contribute to the creation of businesses, it is out of this determination that I have been able to start YOBAC that is working with people to develop innovative ways of empowering youth and women to start sustainable businesses, and and encouraging children to get a quality education.
