Over the past two decades, Uganda's civil war has forced hundreds of thousands of families to flee their homes and way of life. With peace now on the horizon, Mercy Corps is helping them on their road home.
Over the last year, Mercy Corps has reached more than 14,000 displaced people, two times what we'd envisioned as an initial goal. With their help, we've been able to clear and open more than 43 kilometers of roads, drill or protect nine water sources, construct 460 household latrines, and build and maintain eight sites for seed storage, tree nurseries and demonstration farm plots.
