What it reported doing in 2024

PROJECT GULU-FAMILY CARE, UGANDA: The Family Care Uganda (FCU) school and orphanage in Gulu, Uganda, was established in 2013. Since its founding, FCU students have consistently earned top grades in the non-municipal district. The majority of these children come from extremely challenging backgrounds. The Lords Resistance Army (LRA) severely affected the Gulu area, and a large percentage of the population are returnees from the LRA conflict. Many of the adults still suffer from PTSD, and the children have not always been raised in safe or nurturing environments. Most arrive at the school speaking little to no English, yet they consistently achieve excellent academic results and go on to succeed in secondary school.FCU has also welcomed students from the remote Ik community. Many of these children have since qualified as nurses, medical technicians, agriculturalists, and business professionals. We continue to receive new Ik children each year, thanks to the support of Honorable Lokwang Hilary, Member of Parliament, who funds transportation to bring the Ik pupils to Gulu for us to sponsor, educate, and care for.Additionally, FCU serves children from the South Sudanese Nuer refugee camps. Some of the Lost Boys who walked from Bor, through South Sudan during the war, and later settled in the West, appealed to us to help refugee youth here. Many of these South Sudanese pupils are older due to the complete lack of schooling during the war years. However, they have proven to be especially well-behaved, hardworking, and eager to succeed, now that they have been given this opportunity.
