A Violent History of War
For the last 20+ years, a war has raged in northern Uganda, forgotten by most of the world. Since 1987, a rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has been fighting for power against the government of Uganda. The LRA holds no territory in Uganda, but operates out of southern Sudan, conducting cross-border attacks in Uganda. Abducted children have fought this war, primarily. It is estimated that more than 30,000 children have been abducted and forced to fight for the LRA. Currently, those abducted are estimated to comprise 80 to 95 percent of the LRA's forces.
Innocent civilians are strung vulnerably in the balance between two sides that have lost sight of the people. The government of Uganda has failed to protect its citizens from this rebel militia that has abducted thousands of children, subjected them to torture or sexual violence, and forced them to fight in a violent guerilla army. And while peace talks are currently underway to bring much-needed resolution to this humanitarian crisis, the war still wages on, carrying with it the devastating abduction of innocent children.
Invisible Children
Invisible Children, Inc. is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide healthcare, safety, and education for the children of northern Uganda.
With coverage on Oprah, CNN, the National Geographic Channel, and more, Invisible Children was born from the wave of responses of people having seen the documentary film exposing the effects of a 20-year war on the children of Uganda, where children are both the weapons and the victims.
Invisible Children vigilantly strives to give each of these children a name, a face, a voice, and an education.
Boresha is proud to team up with the Invisible Children organization and donate a percentage of its proceeds to the children of northern Uganda. You too can actively make a difference and help the children in northern Uganda, one cup of coffee at a time.
