The Project looks to address HIV/AIDS, education & health awareness as well as conflict resolution to the children & community in Lira. Children have witnessed and participated in the abduction, murder and sexual assault on people and the camp environments have no avenues of play that can unite children together in a fun and enjoyable setting.
