Children in Kempton Park

invisible children is a movement seeking to end the conflict in uganda and stop the abduction of children for use as child soldiers.

Our Liberty is Bound Together We will not stop until all communities in the forgotten corners of our world have the safety they need and deserve. Tens of thousands of families living in severely isolated places like central Africa face the daily threat of violence from rebel groups, wildlife poachers, and other criminal trafficking networks. Without basic protection and communications systems, these communities are disconnected from each other and the outside world. When faced with deadly violence and exploitation, they have no way to warn each other; no way to call for help. We Will Stop at Nothing Our mission is to end violence and exploitation facing our world’s most isolated and vulnerable communities. You have a role to play Together, we can build a world where everyone has the safety they deserve. Interconnection No person, community, or ecosystem exists in isolation. The safety and health of human populations are inextricably linked to the safety and health of our planet and its wildlife. None of us are truly free until even the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems among us are safe and flourishing. Resilience There is no silver bullet to ending violence and exploitation. We are constantly evaluating, listening, correcting, and innovating. We fail when we are unwilling to change when that is what’s needed. Grit We are not satisfied until we achieve meaningful, positive results. We do not see the challenges and ineffectiveness of the status quo as barriers to success, but as invitations to think creatively and to push forward. Justice Everyone should have the safety and freedom to reach their full potential. When cultural norms or institutional policies view some lives as more important than others, we will hold them, and the leaders behind them, to account. Idealism Our determination comes from knowing what we are for, and not simply what we are against. Creating a roadmap for change requires the vision to see a better way, the belief that a better way is possible, and the conviction that justice demands it. Story We are committed to honor the stories behind the statistics of violence and exploitation. In doing so, we elevate the courage and resilience of those facing unspeakable challenges, and unleash the human capacity for empathy that has the power to change history.
