"We lived in Minembwe, South-Kivu (DR Congo) where we looked after cattle. I used to sell cows on the market and milk a few cows to feed the family. One day, in 2012, an armed group raided the village. They took all our posessions, our 100 cows and they killed my husband. I fled with my 6 children, and started a new life here in Uganda. I now have 2 grandchildren and all I can wish is for them to live in a world at peace. I would like you to paint the word "Amani" ("Peace" in Swahili). . #Refugee #Refugees #Withrefugees #Portrait #ShareTheWordProject #AfricanWoman #woman #Congolese #Kivu #Nakivale #NakivaleRefugeeSettlement #Uganda #Peace

At work with the team! I always travel with my friends/helpers on the episodes of "Share The Word Project". Dudu (left on the picture) is always with me and has become a master in the art of tracing patterns. Malek has been helping this last year in Niger, Palestine, France and here in Uganda, bringing extra energy to the project! Dudu, Malek and I have been friends since we were teenagers in Caen, Normandy. We met at the local football stadium where Dudu taught me to make flags and banners. That's when I fell in love with drawing large letters! . #friendship #refugees #nakivalerefugeesettlement #Nakivale #Normandie #Africa #painting #streetart #graffiti #normandie #normandy #SebToussaint #ShareTheWordProject #EastAfrica #UNHCR #NakivaleRefugeeSettlement #teamwork #urbanart #Caen #SMCaen #MNK96 #arteUrbano #Design

"I choose the word "Okovu" ("to save" in Swahili) because I know that Jesus will come to save us like he has always done for humanity". - Weto, 48 years old from Kivu, RD Congo. . #streetart #graffiti #mural #muralart #Arteurbano #contemporaryurbanart #urbanart #urbancontemporaryart #art #Uganda #EastAfrica #africa #nakivalerefugeesettlement #Nakivale #Swahili #SebToussaint #ShareTheWordProject #okovu #design #patterns #painting

Uweso and David are young Congolese refugees who've been offering their help since the first day. They're always keen to push the wheelbarrow or carry the paints. But now I'm also teaching them how to paint murals! They are very curious and spend the day asking us a mix of very intelligent questions, as well as very funny ones like "Does the president of your country eat chapati?", "Will I become white if I move to Norway?" Or "What colour is white people's poo?". . #refugees #EastAfrica #Africa #Nakivale #NakivaleRefugeeSettlement #Uganda #refugee #painting #mural #ShareTheWordProject #kids #Congolese #Congolais
