We were founded in 2004 by grassroots women who suffered the devastating impacts of two decades of war in Northern Uganda. During the war, women's rights were violated and children were forcefully abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). For over 23 year, LRA terrorized the region, torturing the population and forcing over 1.6 million Ugandans to evacuate their ancestral lands and relocate to internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. This had a profound effect on the culture, education, health, and livelihood possibilities in the region.
