In our quest to develop and implement sustainable programs in LRA affected areas, we met Lauren and Conor Evans, two like-minded business people, TRI donors, and builders who became determined to address some of the systemic needs plaguing the development of the economy in northern Uganda. Lauren and Conor, along with their team at
The 31 Lengths Campaign, believe the ideals and structure of business can be catalysts to improve northern Uganda – and the world, for that matter.
Lauren and Conor Evans discussing the Lacor Entrepreneurship Center
Invisible Children first partnered with the Evans in 2011 with the intention of constructing a library at St. Mary’s College Lacor secondary school, but that idea grew into so much more. Last March marked the groundbreaking ceremony of the Lacor Entrepreneurship Center at St. Mary’s, which implements five key program elements to foster entrepreneurial activity and business skills among the over 700 students at the center.
