Learn More About Our Objectives
Our charity was founded by a group of lawyers and humanitarians after a visit to Uganda in December 2013.
We're pleased to announce that we have partnered with FIDA Uganda.
We are raising funds for Laroo ADRA School in Gulu, initially we are focusing on 43 hearing impaired students.
We are dedicated to empowering former child soldiers and victims of war suffering from post war trauma and financial instability, through supporting sustainable livelihood initiatives, rehabilitation, psychotherapy and raising awareness about the social stigma attached to mental illness across Africa
Who Are Child Soldiers
Child soldiers are usually recruited or kidnapped by a state or non-state armed group. They are unlawfully forced to undertake such roles as fighters, sex slaves, suicide bombers, human shields and spies. Despite being forced to join an army, for many children in Africa it is the only way to survive as it provides them with protection and food.
Children as soldiers have been used for years. Most notable examples are Hitler's Youth movement and Joseph Kony's Lord Resistance Army (LRA).
