My name is Birungi Ruth a child of God, a dreamer, and an advocate for refugee girls. My story is not unlike many others, but my purpose is clear. I am a small girl with big dreams, backed by a big God!
I first met Faridah in December 2017, and our journey has continued ever since. I believe I am called to create change in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement, a place that was once my home before I sought refuge in Sweden. As a girl-child mindset advocate, my heart beats for young refugee girls and women who have endured pain—abuse, rejection, and struggles that tried to define them. But I believe in transformation, breaking free, and stepping boldly into the identity God has given us.
Through Davision Youth and Women Organisation, I am working to bridge the gap between refugee girls and their dreams empowering them to overcome limitations and realize their full potential.
Beyond advocacy, I wear many hats. I am a Nurse, Executive Director of SISTER’s Foundation Sweden, A board member of Davision, a management consultant, a sponsor, and a dedicated volunteer.
This year, we are expanding our impact by helping refugee women and girls develop hands-on skills and launch start-ups that promote economic inclusion in vulnerable communities one girl at a time.
I am on a journey of becoming. It is stretching, yet deeply fulfilling—because every step brings me closer to the person I am meant to be. I don’t have all the answers yet, and that’s okay. What I do have is a heart for change, and a love for the process.
I look forward to sharing my story with you this year. If you believe in changing lives, let’s do it together. Partner with us, and let’s make a difference one girl at a time.
