"Today, I am liberated": New house ends years of eviction for Kayonza man

Ismael Karekezi, a 46-year-old resident of Kayonza, has finally secured a new home, bringing an end to years of anxiety caused by the threat of eviction. His struggle with housing instability saw him forced out of rented accommodations on three separate occasions because he could no longer meet the rising rent costs.

The fear of losing his home had been a constant shadow over Karekezi's life. Each time he was forced to move, the search for affordable housing presented new challenges, deepening his sense of insecurity.

On July 3, Karekezi's situation took a positive turn as he moved into a new house. This move not only provides him with a stable roof over his head but also liberates him from the persistent fear of eviction that had haunted him for years. The new residence marks a significant turning point, offering him peace of mind and a sense of permanence.
