Gulu Disabled Persons Union – Survivor Corps
Survivor Corps (formerly the Landmine Survivors Network) and The Advocacy Project (AP) have joined forces to support survivors of conflict in Central Africa. The program was launched in the summer of 2008. It seeks to help survivors to claim their rights, promote social justice, build a constituency for their advocacy and contribute to the development of their society on their own terms.
Hip Hop comes out for survivors in Uganda!
During 2008, the program helped to launch a campaign in northern Uganda,to improve accessibility for war-affected people with disability. This campaign is explained in detail in the following pages. More campaigns will be profiled as they are launched.
Survivor Corps has opened country offices in Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda, under the direction of a regional office in South Africa. AP is also supporting this effort through an AP regional office in Kampala, and through Peace Fellows (volunteers).
We welcome inquiries, and will be reaching out to diaspora communities and universities with speakers and promotional events. Help us to build peace in Central Africa – one person at a time.
