Finally living in his native Rwanda after the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, Patrick Karangwa answered a calling to start an organization that would foster peace and reconciliation, and empower the youth. In 2012, when he saw an influx of Congolese refugees entering Rwanda to escape armed conflict, his vision expanded. He knew he could help them with the compassion they needed, because he had once been a refugee himself.
In Finding Purpose in Challenging Times, Karangwa shares the story of his journey from life as a young man born and raised in Uganda, to founder and CEO of an NGO that has grown to serve tens of thousands of refugees and other vulnerable communities in Rwanda and beyond.
If you want to make a difference in the world, this book will inspire you to believe in your own potential--no matter what your current circumstances are--and to experience the joy of helping others with compassion, faith, and best practices.
