United for a Better World

We are a non-profit association from Münster, which has been passionately engaged in Gulu, in the north of Uganda, since 2010. After more than 24 years of severe civil war battles that have deeply scarred northern Uganda, we want to help. A war that turned children into soldiers and girls into mothers, traumatized entire families, and left many as orphans and refugees, has left its mark. Today, Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world. But we firmly believe that together we can make a change.

Your donation makes a difference in the lives of many families in northern Uganda.
