Nate was watching the World Cup game at a rugby club in Kampala, Uganda with his friend Lindsey, who also works for IC, and their Ugandan friends Innocent and Tony. The bomb went off and Nate was hit. His friends immediately rushed him to the hospital, but soon after his arrival he went unconscious and was pronounced dead.
Nate was in the country of his dreams, visiting the friends he had worked so tirelessly to support. He passed away with his Ugandan brothers and dear friends by his side.
The Henn family has been overwhelmed in gratitude from everyone’s support and have asked for a memorial fund be set up to honor the work Nate was doing. Go to www.NateHenn.com to donate and for more information.
Nate selflessly gave his time and energy without pay during his time at Invisible Children over the last year and a half. But he relied on friends, family and other donors to provide the financial support he needed. And now, the Henn family is asking for others to continue supporting this work.
