2015 UG049 Taking it Further

Uganda is recovering from the brutal conflict between the Ugandan government and rebel group the Lords Resistance Army which ended in 2006. Children and young people in the country still experience rights violations and economic opportunities are scarce. This project helps children and young people to increase their self‐esteem, so they can focus on their potential and determination to create a better future for themselves. By improving their life skills and focusing on their education, they have a better chance for social economic opportunities as they grow older.
