brief History
One Youth One Heart a youth-led initiative that was formed under the umbrella of UNHCR to bridge the gap between refugee youth and host community youth. OneYouth OneHeart initiative is Uganda’s Innovation initiative that was spearheaded by Keiko (formerly our in-house Innovation fellow) with support from HQ. This initiative begun in 2014 and gave birth to One Youth One Heart (OYOH) which is a youth-led initiative of youth working together to co-create innovative solutions to community challenges. However, Emily Byaruhanga later took over the role of mentoring and guiding the Initiative and currently One Youth One Heart initiative is working with Ms. Aidah Mirembe and Ms. Jane Assimwe at UNHCR Uganda offices under their mentorship and supervision.
