About Me

project:Freedom has been formed to support existing organizations already making a difference in Uganda and beyond, Worldwide. Our vision is to support these organizations financially. To create awareness in Australia, awareness partnered with action. One life partnered with many defines the meaning of unity. Within the unity there is action and in our action there is freedom. Join us now, this moment. The only way to complete transformation in Uganda and other places of need, is to educate and empower. Challenging the world to take notice. To see people moved beyond compassion into action. There is a BIG problem in Uganda. Tens of thousands of civilians have been mutilated or killed by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in nothern Uganda for 20 years. The leader of the LRA, Joseph Kony, abducts children to equip his militia. Once taken from their homes, children are beaten, raped, starved, and forced to kill or be killed-often time having to kill members of their own family. SInce 1986 more than 20,000 boys and girls have been taken against their will and brainwashed to fight as a childre solider in the LRA, with roughly 12,000 abductions occuring since 2002. An entire generation has never known peace. A peace we take for granted. Uganda has endured the scourge of civil war and deadly AIDS epidemic. Approx 2 million children in Uganda have been orphaned by these calamities. Currently there are 880,000 Ugandan children living as orphans as a result of AIDS. For years, the disaster in Northern Uganda has been unseen. Children are the future. +Every 2.7 seconds, a child under five years dies from hunger and related causes. +One in five children will never go to school. +More than half a billion (one in four) of the world's children live on less than $1 a day. +One out of every 11 children die before age five, mostly from preventable causes. +In the developing world, one in five children (210 million) between the ages of five and 14 will work, and half will work full time.
