To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die– Thomas Campbell

Please join us to mourn the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Ms Ritah Nansereko, who was a dedicated and passionate member of Uganda’s Civil Society fraternity.

An accomplished Human Rights advocate, Ritah was the Executive Director of African Women and Youth Action for Development (AWYAD) and Co-chair for Charter for Change. She served diligently as a proactive member of our Steering Committee at the Humanitarian Platform for Local and National Humanitarian Actors in Uganda. Ritah was a strong policy advocate in the Humanitarian Sector who championed the Localisation agenda and the rights of refugees.

More than a simple risk-taker, Ritah was generous, compassionate and always ready to share a light moment. She never missed an opportunity to inspire everyone around her.

Our hearts and prayers are always with her family.

Rest in Peace, Ritah. Your life was a blessing, your memory is a treasure.
