Military conflict in Northern Uganda has displaced 80% of the population into Internal Displaced Person (IDP) Camps. Lacking food and other basic necessities, these camps are plagued with high levels of poverty, rape and HIV/AIDS infections, making it one of the poorest regions in the country.
- Over one million children are not attending school
- 25% of children have lost one or both their parents

The data is daunting but this isn’t something we’ve never heard before. Statistics are important but so are solutions.
Dreams For Kids’ (DFK) mission is to “end the suffering and dying in Uganda by providing access to education and sustainable income sources for women who will rebuild their country and create a future of hope for their children.”
DFK is currently building a primary school in the village of Gulu. Join them in their One Brick at a Time Campaign. For as little as $10, every brick you purchase will help build their school. Cornerstone bricks are also available for $100.
Ensure the future of the children of Gulu. Buy a brick.
