Invisible Children doesn’t stop at documenting atrocities or activating youth or protecting civilians or rehabilitating post-conflict communities. We do it all. And we do it through a four-part model that focuses exclusively on the LRA conflict, addressing it in its entirety: immediate needs and long-term effects. One of the four parts of the comprehensive model is Recovery.

When visiting Sacred Heart School, one of the first things to catch your eye as you walk past the administrative offices is the 3-story classroom block in the center of campus.

How, you ask? Elizabeth used her milestone 16th birthday as a way to show her abundance of passion for IC. The party […]

The finishing touches are being put on the Schools for Schools (S4S) project at Sacred Heart School in Gulu. The completed project is a three-story building with 18 classrooms.

Just this morning, we welcomed a group of students and staff from Franklin College in Indiana who were traveling through Uganda and decided to swing by the Invisible Children Uganda (ICU) office while in Gulu.
