Blackened Paper

The insurgency in northern Uganda has kept thousands

of individuals and families internally displaced.

Starting life again and returning home after war can be challenging.

A few of the reasons individuals find it hard to return home are:

trauma of war

shame

fear

lack of support

starting over again

land issues

OUR RESPONSE

EVERYONE NEEDS A PLACE TO CALL HOME

Our Resettlement Program is for individuals and families from northern Uganda who fled their homes during the insurgency and are currently living in Acholi Quarter in Kampala, Uganda.
 
Everyone that receives support through our Resettlement Program is required to first complete our Trauma Counseling Program.  We want to make sure that those being resettled back home have found healing from what made them leave their home in the first place.
Ensuring the safety and welcome of families being resettled is essential.  Before any resettlement occurs we make sure that relatives, leaders, community members and even churches are all in support in welcoming and helping to see the success of their family/community
members return home after war.

After displacement for many years, its not easy returning home.  That is why we provide regular follow up visits to ensure that beneficiaries are thriving, feeling supported and encouraged whenever needed.

HOW YOU CAN HELP A DISPLACED FAMILY.

We work hard to make sure that those returning home after many years of displaced are ready physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Choosing to return home is a courageous choice and one we do not take lightly but with great joy!  We see resettlement as restoration of what war has taken from the families we work with.

The cost to fully resettle a family is $6800.
This provides: transportation from Acholi Quarter to their village in northern Uganda, assessment visitations, food supplies, building of a home, seeds and farming tools, animals for rearing or a sustainable project of the family's choice, education support for children and more!

Will you join us in changing the story of a displaced family?
