BACKGROUND
Between 1986 and 2006, 2 million Acholi people were displaced by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Northern Uganda. Thousands of people were maimed or massacred. Survivors spent most of this time in camps for internally displaced people.
Today, there is peace in the region. The survivors suffering from post-traumatic stress, have struggled to return to their war torn villages but now are left with no access to education, skills training or livestock.
We have focused on girls eduction since 2011

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER - Alex O Latim
Founder of Forgotten Peoples Projects, believes that no person or community should be forgotten.
Alex came to UK to study Information Technology and Agribusiness, with a vision of gaining knowledge and skill that could contribute to a better future.
After leaving Uganda and being separated from his family for many years because of conflict, Alex returned home and witnessed first - hand hardship faced by families living in displacements (IDP).
Rather than turning away, he chose to turn his personal experience into a commitment to serve others. He founded Forgotten Peoples Projects to help children, young peoples and communities in Northen Uganda where his clan is from, build a future based on education, dignity, opportunity and hope.
Alex's journey is build on a simple belief:
"We cannot change the past, but together we can create a beter future"
Today, FPP continues that vision by working alongside communities to create opportunities and ensure that no community is forgotten.
