The following report was broadcast on Radio Sapientia on June 9, 2008 and does not necessarily reflect the views of the BBC WST.

After they were displaced by LRA war, many people ran away to seek safety in Kampala . But these people have not got any attention from humanitarian agencies because they are not in IDP camps and therefore are not documented anywhere.

However some women have been able to build permanent houses through Bead for Life, an NGO that secured land in Mukono, and taught these women skills of making beads which they sell outside Uganda and the part of the money goes towards paying for the mortgage. Each house goes for between 4 and 5 million Uganda shillings, paid over a period of five years.

Radio Sapientia’s Pius Sawa, visited Takajjunge village in Mukono where these women are living.
