JONATHAN

Jonathan*, 15, a South Sudanese boy living in a refugee settlement in northern Uganda.

Jonathan has shown himself to be an amazing campaigner, inspiring other children in his community to go back to school. He wants to to help his friends and encourage them to get education with the hope they will have bright futures.

He's now back in school after Covid-19 school closures. But he is worried about his peers who are still out of school and others who aren't going back.
