Kitgum Concerned Women’s Association (KICWA)
 
Kitgum Concerned Women’s Association (KICWA) was initiated in August 1998 by women volunteers who were concerned about the plight of formerly abducted children from Kitgum District. KICWA runs a reception and reintegration centre that responds to the needs of formerly abducted children and their families. To date, more than 4,200 children have benefited from KICWA’s services.
