In northern Uganda, new school construction has been part of U.S. AID and Winrock International's $30 million NUDEIL development project. ..Northern Uganda is recovering from a protracted, brutal insurgency by Joseph Kony's Lords Resistance Army (LRA). Children were routinely abducted from homes and schools, forced to become child soldiers, and were forced to engage in brutal acts. Families seeking safety languished in armed, government camps for up to fifteen years.
