War on Want Northern Ireland works in partnership with poor communities in Africa to alleviate poverty, and to challenge the systems that keep people poor... War on Want NI has been working in Teso district, north east Uganda since 2003. People from Teso district in north east Uganda suffered decades of armed cattle rustling and Lord's Resistance Army insurgencies resulting in significant personal trauma, loss of life, child abductions and 80,000 people fleeing to live for decades in Internally Displaced People's camps. Prolonged stays in the camps eroded their self-worth, promoted dependency, and increased HIV infection rates due to women engaging in commercial sex as a means to feed the family.
