A paramilitary rebel group has kept residents of northern Uganda under a regime of fear. Using a cultish practices and brutal terrorist techniques, the Lord's Resistance Army kidnaps children to use as soldiers. Below are key Christian and charitable organizations that work with the victims of the LRA conflict in northern Uganda.

Far Reaching Ministries: Hear the story of the Night Commuter children of Northern Uganda where approximately 1.8 million people are displaced, and hundreds of thousands have perished under the most brutal of conditions.

World Vision: Uganda's people have endured much suffering in recent history. Somewhere between 800,000 and 2 million people perished during the dictatorship of Idi Amin and the civil wars, tribal killings, and famines that followed. To add to the suffering, AIDS is taking a horrible toll on the country. In too many villages, children are left to care for themselves because their parents have fallen to the deadly virus.

Save the Children: Save the Children Uganda works in education health and food security, targeting orphans and vulnerable children and their families.
