Shelters closed in Gulu! Children each night would walk to the shelters to sleep in safety, but in December 2006 the government forced all the shelters to close. Now children are sleeping in the alleys and store patios to keep safe from Rebel abduction.
The government has also told the people in the refugee camps to go home, even though there are no homes for them to go back to since the Rebels burned down their homes and villages. And there is still fear of Rebel attack.
The situation in Northern Uganda is desperate. According to resources, the UN has cut the amount of food distributed each month to ½ of what was given before.
We need $35,000 immediately to buy the land, build the well and begin moving the children to safety. |

On Sunday, February 18, over 304 huts were burned to the ground in Gulu. Children and widows live in refugee camps that scatter across the Northern part of Uganda. Each camp holds between 6,000-8,000 displaced people.
Over 1,600 women and children are now without homes due to the fire that started accidentally. Due to the close proximity of huts, if one catches on fire, it will easily spread to the surrounding huts.
They have lost their homes, the little belongs they possessed and many lost the money they were saving to pay for their children’s school fees. |
