Al Jazeera English: In 2013, Sister Angelique Namaika was awarded the Nansen refugee prize by the UNHCR. It was in recognition of her extensive work with more than 2,000 women in DRC. Many of these women are survivors of rape and abuse by fighters of the Lord’s Resistance Army.
The prize came with an award $100,00, allowing her to expand her Centre for Reintegration and Development in Dungu.
''Even though I can’t end poverty, everyone does what they can. Even if you save one life, it’s still a life'', says Sister Angelique.
