Northern Uganda

TEAMS works in Northern Uganda.

Northern Uganda has been in civil war for over 19 years.

The Lord's Resistance Army, a brutal rebel army terrorises its inhabitants.

Over 1 million people live in camps for displaced people.

Over 40,000 children have been abducted by the rebel army since the war began.

A senior UN official recently described it as one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

We are sponsoring children who are orphans to go to school.

Many of the children, some in their early teens have never been to school

We have a literacy project mainly for women.

Aproximately 70% of women cannot read or write in Northern Uganda.
