Acholi sub-region which was once a vibrant and leading community has been reduced to a tragic shadow and shell of its former self due to over 20yrs of civilwar.
The traumatic experiences have left lasting psychological scars on the mental well-being of individuals in Gulu, leading to high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
Your donation will go along way to helping rebuild resilience and psychological recovery in Northern Uganda.
