Nobel Peace Prize nominee Victor Ochen formed AYINET as a way to bring peace to a war-ravaged Uganda. Born in Northern Uganda, a product of a community displaced by war and a victim touched by war himself, Ochen’s heart was moved by his encounters with those who had similar experiences. These encounters affected change in him and helped him to effect change. He founded the African Youth Initiative Network in 2005.
