Ugandan anti-poverty activist, Kizza Stephen, drowns few months to his wedding

Steven works at Innovations for Poverty Action, an NGO based in Kamwokya, Kampala, Uganda.

He had his introduction ceremony at the end of last year and was on a work-related trip to Gulu. While there, he and other colleagues decided to go and have fun at the falls where he drowned.

Moments before he drowned, he first took pictures, then he sat down and put his feet in the water as his friends took pictures. Unknown to them that it at was their last moment with him.

He slowly slipped down the waterfalls and by the time they realized he was actually slipping from life, it was too late to rescue him. They sounded an alarm, but there was no one in vicinity to respond to their calls. Police came in later and managed to retrieve the body. Tragic
