Children of Peace – Uganda (CPU) is an initiative solely dedicated to promote Human security of children, youths and communities directly affected by the insurgency of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) war in Northern and North-Eastern Uganda.
Founded in 2010 by Ms. Jane Ekayu; having identified limited psycho-social support; lack of access to social services such as education, Health; limited Livelihood skills; poor housing; poor community involvement in development programs which perpetuated and escalated violence among children, youth and their families in Northern and North-East Uganda, Children of Peace - Uganda sought to close the gap.
In all people and circumstances, we see the ability to learn, connect, grow and contribute to positive transformation.
To nurture Peace within, we approach ourselves, our communities, and the world with openness and inquisitiveness.
We walk with each other, cultivating a community that challenges and inspires, respecting human diversity for sustainability development.
We put our mission in front of self-image and fear, doing what it takes to make the positive change the global community needs.
We think what we say, we say what we do, believing in our commitment in peace building and human security.
We are Credible, Dependable, Realistic, and able to Deliver, to achieve our vision.
