Around the world, lunchtime serves to be a long-awaited break in many students’ school days. Staple foods, like beans and rice, make up a student’s typical lunchtime meal in Uganda. These simple, yet nutritious foods are low cost and easy to prepare in large quantities. This is especially important as some schools in Uganda have to efficiently […]

Over the past few weeks, our Facebook feeds have gotten a little chillier with 30-second videos of our friends, families, and sometime strangers drenching themselves in ice water for a cause. The #ALSicebucketchallenge is taking over and we kind of like it… Here at Invisible Children, we just can’t get enough of social media movements – so we […]

There’s been a new buzz around the office – our fall interns have finally arrived. It’s only a week in, and we can already tell this new class is a great one. Here’s the breakdown: 15 girls, 3 guys. 18 to 24 years old. They’re from five different countries and nine U.S. states. Collectively, they’ve probably visited half the globe. Last Wednesday was […]

We’ve had so much to celebrate over the past few weeks, including the largest group of returnees since 2008. And the good news keeps on coming: The Incident: August 4, a 16-year-old Congolese boy escaped from the LRA after 5 years in captivity. In 2009, he and his brother were abducted from a community near Dungu, DR Congo (DRC). This was […]

In partnership with The Resolve, we’ve just released a new report from the LRA Crisis Tracker, which demonstrates important trends in LRA activity over the last six months. Our friend Paul Ronan does a great job at summarizing this data, which points to a spike in LRA abductions in DR Congo and Central African Republic (CAR). Check out his recent article: […]

At Invisible Children Uganda, we remember how two months ago a group of bright and enthusiastic supporters came by our office for the first time. We had been waiting expectantly for this group of trip winners since the #zeroLRA fundraising initiative kicked off the previous year. We are pleased to say that they impressed us […]

It’s been a while since we featured one of the staff members at Invisible Children Uganda on the blog. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Adonga Quinto. As the Head of Security, Quinto’s smiling face is the first that many staff and visitors see when they enter into our office compound. The office at Invisible […]

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been sharing the stories of the humanitarians who made us: people who inspire us to work harder and pursue a better world. Today is World Humanitarian Day; and today, we celebrate you. We exist because of your support, your hard work, and your belief that where you live shouldn’t determine whether you live. YOU […]

Even after graduating over 2,000 members from the Functional Adult Literacy course last month, Invisible Children Uganda’s livelihoods team has not taken much time to rest. Change is in the works as the team recently kicked off planning for the future of our Livelihoods programming and support Lord’s Resistance Army escapees. We believe that the […]

Our latest project brings two of our favorite things together: new music and social justice. We’re partnering with Rallysong, a crowd-funding, fan engagement platform that brings artists and fans together to rally for important causes.
