The mention of July 5th and 17th Dec2017 government attacked using heavy bombs on Rwenzuru King royal palace left over 300 royal guards, children, women dead brings awful memories in the minds of people in the Rwenzori region. On those days, thousands lost their lives in the deadly attacks on military installations in Ntoroko, Fortportal, Kasese and Bundibugyo districts and military attack on civilians. Prison gates opened and closed for hundred majorities of who were young people.
It is against this backdrop that this project is sought to not only mobilize, train, equip the July 5th ex-combatants and widows, children and ex-prisonors in alternative dispute resolution but also increase their productivity through skilling, establishing income generation projects as well as establishing a revolving fund from which they can draw funds to scale up their projects for economic independence.
