Help Women Learn to Read and Write in Uganda
Organization information
Volunteer Action Network
Location: Gulu, Uganda
Summary
Northern Uganda is a post-conflict zone, still recovering from the effects of neighboring Sudan's brutal civil war. During this turbulent time, women and girls missed the opportunity to go to school. Many are formerly abducted child soldiers and/or victims of horrific sexual violence. Ten years after the war, they are now recovering and rebuilding their lives. Learning to read and write enables women to run businesses and support families, and empowers them to secure a brighter future!
