Luise Radlmeier

In 1987, while teaching in Nairobi, Radlmeier's attention was drawn by the growing number of young refugees fleeing the Second Sudanese War who came to the Dominican Sisters' convent seeking relief.

Radlmeier expanded her efforts by 1990, as young Sudanese fled to Nairobi from the desperate conditions in the refugee camp at Kakuma, nearly 700 kilometers to the north.

Several years later she returned briefly to Europe where she received a graduate degree at the Sorbonne before returning to Africa to teach Religious Studies.
