IDP Camps, Gulu, Northern Uganda
IDP camps , Gulu, Northern Uganda
For nearly 20 years the Lord’s Resistance Army caused terror amongst the Acholi people in Northern Uganda with horrific levels of violence and the abduction of thousands of children . Many Internally Displaced Peoples’ (IDP) camps were set up around Gulu. Now four years after the hostilities have ceased in this area most people have returned to their villages. However, over 20,000 people are still living in these camps and remain extremely vulnerable with over 90% over deaths due to the poor conditions.
I visited some of these camps in October 2009 with Joanna Pike of the charity Women and Children in Africa (WACIA) These images are a product of this visit. Any profits made from the sale of these images will go to WACIA and their continuing good work in Uganda and other African countries. WACIA is a small charity where funds go directly into small projects that can become self-sustaining after some help to start up. If you would like to donate to WACIA please go to http://www.wacia.org/help.html?help=1
They are available as digital images for editorial use. Please contact me for pricing details which depend on usage.
