Laren celebrates his 20th birthday in Uganda on the filmmakers first trip to Uganda.

An update on the Juba peace talks and as we move into 2008.

Changing what you think about war-affected children.

In April 2007 more than 68,000 individuals gathered in 15 cities across the United States to experience for one night what it was like to be displaced. They left their homes, left their comforts, and displaced themselves for the displaced in northern Uganda.

When Hurricane Katrina hit this country, we saw for the first time what a displaced American looks like. Now we’re asking you to imagine for 24 hours what it’s like for the millions of people in Northern Uganda who have been displaced for over ten years.

On April 29th we¹re hosting an event unlike any other before. Our goal is to end the war in Northern Uganda and with a goal that big we needed a little help. We don¹t take the situation in Northern Uganda lightly and we don¹t think our music video portrays that. It's our attempt to reach people through entertainment and inspiration to spread the word about the Global Night Commute.

It may not change your life, but it will change someone else's

He has never known a day of peace and lives in a place that is not his home. He is displaced. Only 13 years old, there isn’t a part of Sunday’s life that hasn’t been affected by the war. Orphaned at a young age, he lives in a displacement camp and struggles to survive amid the effects of poverty, disease, and malnutrition.

You have heard the story of northern Uganda: of an unending war, night commuting, and children fighting as soldiers. But, you have only heard one side...Be the first to hear the other. Invisible Children's first story of a girl. Grace was abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army when she was only ten years old. At thirteen, she was forced to be a slave for a rebel commander 40 years older

The war in Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian crisis in the world today, leaving nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. A young boy named Innocent walks into the city every night, rain or shine. Not free to sleep at home, he night commutes for fear of being abducted by the rebel army.

The wounds of war are not always inflicted by bullets, and the killers are not always soldiers. This is the story of a family, made from who was left. More than 11.6 million children are orphaned by AIDS in Africa, and like so many others, a young boy named Emmy is forced to grow up and find hope amidst incredible tragedy. Red is for Emmy: the story of an orphan.

In northern Uganda, wars are not only fought on the battlefield. Since the day she was born, Roseline has been infected by HIV/AIDS. In Uganda, over a million people are infected with the disease. In 2006 alone, AIDS killed more than 91,000 Ugandans. It’s a disease that took the lives of Roseline’s parents, and it threatens to take hers

Schools for Schools emerged out of our overarching goal to help children in northern Uganda receive a quality education. Over the past few years, we've done extensive research into the region's education system and seen the need to encourage academic excellence and leadership not only in students, but also on a much larger scale within the schools. Even the children who are able to actually go to school still face unfair limitations because of the poor condition of their classrooms.
