ChildVoice was founded in 2006 to restore the voices of children silenced by war in northern Uganda. At that time, more than 30,000 children had been abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army and forced to become armed combatants and sex slaves. Since 2007, ChildVoice's Lukome Center in northern Uganda has provided a therapeutic, safe sanctuary community for adolescent girls including these former children-turned-soldiers, child mothers, orphans, and other highly vulnerable girls. At the Center, our students are able to recover from the trauma of war and receive the educational and vocational training they need to rebuild their lives and re-enter their villages and communities with dignity. While Uganda is no longer at war, the effects of years of conflict have left generations of families struggling to recover from trauma and poverty. Additionally, there are 35 active conflict zones around the world where children are growing up in the shadow of war. ChildVoice is working diligently on behalf of these children, expanding its services to include war-affected young girls from South Sudan and Nigeria and other at-risk countries.
