Nakivale, Uganda / Navy Yard, Brooklyn
Patrick Muvunga builds community spaces in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement. His organization, Opportunigee, offers support to refugees who, like Patrick, come to Nakivale with talent and drive but few resources. Macro Sea and Newlab are collaborating with Opportunigee to build spaces for innovation beyond shelter, creating dignified housing and vibrant public spaces. Our pilot project will house 500 people, completely designed and built by residents of Nakivale and led by Patrick.
