Recurrent conflicts in South Sudan drove approx. 1 million people into Uganda. Many of the refugees suffer from trauma from ethnic and domestic conflicts. This project will address these psychosocial needs among: (i) 12,400 adults; (ii) 9,000 traumatized children whose behaviour and educational potential can then improve. (iii) 200 Cases of domestic violence will be reported and referred; (iv) 50 Survivors assisted with transport to court; (v) 30 Case workers trained on Case Management; (vi) 12 Awareness and training sessions; (vii) 1000 actors sensitized on legal support.
The project will contribute to its outcomes by 124 church workers providing psychosocial support to adult refugees, and 150 childcare workers similarly targeting traumatized children. One method will be the “trauma healing and forgiveness journey” which Across has used with success in similar contexts. Experienced project staff will monitor throughout the project period. Expected outcomes: reduced trauma and violence
