IDP Camp Healthcare:
In conjunction with doctors and nursing staff from local hospitals, COHO Uganda regularly visits Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in North Eastern Uganda for periods of three to four days.
We take medical supplies and toys for the children - hundreds of people are treated by doctors and nurses during each visit, more than half of whom are children aged 3-10 years.
We see children coming together to experience positive emotions such as joy, happiness, love and laughter. The power of sports helps many children open up and share their life stories and temporarily forget the trauma in their lives. Playing games helps bring a sense of social integration and happiness amongst the children.
Other objectives
• Minister God’s love and healing to hundreds of hopeless and traumatised children,
• Help rehabilitate to former rebel child soldiers in the camps,
• Enable children to discover happiness and joy in games and sports,
• Provide child-friendly services, especially child guidance and counselling,
• Bring hope to hopeless children; in spite of what they had seen, heard or experienced.
