Did you know that there are over 900,000 child refugees in Uganda?
The team at I Live Again Uganda is working hard to meet the psychosocial needs of these children. While the number of children is overwhelming, our team is committed to restoring healing, hope and identity in those in our care. Our team is so passionate about this because they were children when war came to northern Uganda. They lived in internal displacement camps and all the fear and loss that the refugee children they serve are facing.
From games, music, art and drama children are given a safe space to share what they have experienced and what they are currently experiencing. They are given practical tools to help them daily when faced with anxiety, overwhelming thoughts and anger. Most of the children in our refugee settlement are from South Sudan. The war that has caused so much destruction and displacement is due to tribal differences. We have a unique opportunity to host children from different tribes in our programs. It's an opportunity for us to build reconciliation and unity for the future.
We are so grateful for your support.
Every afternoon we have hundreds of children come to our programs. We are grateful they have chosen to spend their time with us and not caught up in other things that can be destructive. When they come to our programs they find a safe space to heal and have fun!
Thank you for your kindness and support!
