Gulu Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Refugee Camps

Smiles from the children at Cwero refugee camp in Uganda

A local pastor, Charles Ochieng, helps us with the distribution of relief at the Cwero and Kora Bili IDP camps in Gulu, and also in Laroo, where he has a number of orphans he and his colleagues care for. Apart from raincoats, boots, warm jackets, bedding, school books, etc., he has received a large amount of income-generating donations from us and has used them towards building a dormitory and school rooms on the land he was given.
