Six years ago in Northern Uganda, Sarah (not her real name), was abducted by the Lords Resistance Army, a rebel group that forcibly uses children as soldiers, and in the case of girls, sex slaves. Now over 70 children, including Sarah and her five year old daughter, have been reunited with their families through World Visions rehabilitation program.

For 19 years, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has been battling the government of Uganda for political power. The LRA abducts children to serve in his army as laborers or fighters, and in the case of girls, sex slaves. World Vision asks you to help end the children's suffering.
