## 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.
