Did you know that in 2003, UN Undersecretary General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland described the Northern Uganda conflict as “the biggest forgotten, neglected humanitarian emergency in the world?”  Nearly two million people were displaced by the conflict, which was characterized by child soldiers, abduction, and the frequent use of rape. In addition, the war killed thousands of civilians, more than 36,000 children abducted and recruited as child soldiers, thousands were maimed and raped by the rebels, economic and livelihood activities disrupted, education and health services provision drastically declined and people are living in abject poverty.

The Juba Peace Talks that started in 2006 led to cessation of hostilities in Uganda and finally brought the war to an end inside Uganda. Northern Uganda is now in a period of relative peace and stability and call for rebuilding of the community, and about 90% of displaced persons have returned to their homes. Despite the high number of return, it is estimated that 300,000 people are still stuck in camps in Amuru district and are not able to return homes; majority are in Attiak. These are mainly orphans and child headed households/families, widows, widowers, persons with disabilities, and terminally ill persons -many of them are living with HIV/AIDS. These categories of people have not return homes and are still in camps. Worse of all, they have not received support from government and development partners  and have been ignored and labelled  as those who do not want to return homes and all recovery support are targeting those who have returned homes. This has aggravated the situations of the vulnerable displaced persons still in camps in Northern Uganda, leaving them in the state of hopelessness. Their living condition is appalling and calls for immediate actions from people with hearts for humanity like YOU!!!

In response to their calls, Caleb’s Hope has designed Project Build to help fundraise for building them houses that will enable these helpless and hopeless people return to their legitimate homes, resettled and reintegrate just like others in the communities and have decent houses to live in.

Help us give these unfortunate people that opportunity to live in decent houses! Your kind donation and support to project build is crucial in the lives of these vulnerable persons stuck in the camps in Northern Uganda.

Also be our Ambassador and tell others about project Build Initiative!

Many thanks for your kind support toward the rebuilding of the war ravaged Northern Uganda.
