Combined Effort By The Nature Network Group and the Refugee Coalition of East Africa Find Bukulu Stephen Alive, Slaying and Kicking! The Rumours That Bukulu Is Dead Are False!

A Report for confirming Person of Concern (POC) Bukulu Steven's where abouts.

We were concerned and perturbed. For one who stayed among us for the time the UNHCR asked us to be a temporary host was claimed by an organization on Facebook, to be dead.

We needed to do something to find out the truth and share it publicly. 

Was Bukulu alive or dead?

After receiving news about the purported passing away of our former resident Bukulu Stephen of Burudian nationality, we could not believe it and we had to ascertain the truth.

A poster from an organization purported that Bukulu Stephen was lying in a morgue at the Kenyatta National Hospital. This was on a Facebook page.

We have a system at the Nature Network Group, we take up matters using executive means and delegation of duty.

Chris and Sulah requested funds from the Executive Director Tom Muyunga Mukasa who authorised that the funds be used to facilitate transportation to investigate this phenomena.

We commenced on taking up the journey from our place to Kenyatta Hospital along upper-class Road.

We set off at 2:00pm and arrived at 3:20pm at the KNH.

Chris and I, first went to the administrative block to inquire about the deceased  person ,where we were directed to go to the welfare homes (morgue).

The records we found at the KNH revealed that POC Bukulu Steven was discharged from Kennyatta National Hospital in March 2021.

So, this information from an organization called Safe hands.org that is circulating around false information, is reprehensible, irresponsible, traumatizing, traumatic and must be denounced in the strongest words possible. Criminal investigations must be instituted too about this organization. We denounce this kind of insensitivity.

Please be aware:

1. Bukulu Stephen is alive, slaying and kicking lively!

2. The news that claims Bukulu Stephen is dead, is false and reprehensible.

Contact the Nature Network Group team or the RefCEA Office for more details.

We care and we show it!

November is No-Violence Month At The Nature Network Group

We have always used each day of November to address an anti-violence theme. We have done this since 2019. We use all our social media platforms to put up memes on a given subject. In continuation with building a non stigma, non discrimination environment, let us re-invigorate this culture please. Each one of us has their own Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or this or that social media platform. We all can do something like this if not already doing it. Thanks.

Robert (Bobby) Luzinda Has Shown That Three Weeks Is Enough Time For A Poultry Project To Continue Thriving

We met with Bobby and asked for a tour to the Nature Network Group Resource Center Poultry Project.

It is now three weeks from day one. The birds weigh about half a kilo.

They are aware of the persons who feed them and they appreciate by flying straight into them.

The experience of watching the birds grow stimulates and motivates.

It strengthens strategic purpose and productivity.

We are able to show case results of how we use our time too.

Get time to visit us and follow us as we rear our birds. It is enjoyable and educational.

We Call It The Community Tuesday Too!

Community Tuesday at the Nature Network Group Resource Center has its many faces.

One such face is when we give back to the Shelter we live in by doing general cleaning.

Call it self-care with extras thrown in. Or minding the hygiene of our safe space. Whatever version or perception you take it, we enjoy the activities that make us more lively.

The Chicks Have Shipped!

It is that Friday, when our Resource Center is a beehive.

This time instead of the eagles landing, it is the chicks that have shipped.

Now the chicken have come home to roost.

Pardon my mixing of idioms. It is the excitement. Ululululululu!

Finally, we are to launch the Poultry rearing project.

Thank you to all who support our work. We are so grateful. We shall not disappoint you nor disappoint ourselves.
