In 2015, when political violence erupted in Burundi, Emery Ndayizeye fled with no plan and no destination, eventually landing in a refugee camp in Uganda. For three years, he says, he had “no life.”

Then, an entrepreneurship class helped him discover his passion for photography. Today, living in Cameroon, Emery runs an organization he co-founded to help other displaced people learn skills, start businesses, and send their children to school.
