MEGOLONYO

by Justice Nnanna

 

Centered on ‘Konye Ki Cingi’, a Ugandan Women’s Empowerment Group, started by female survivors of the brutal, decades-long, Northern Ugandan War. In search of rehabilitation, economic stability, and emotional support, the women of Konye Ki Cingi work together to achieve their goals, insert their independence, and support their families in the rural village of Agwata.
