The Northern Uganda Self-Sufficiency Project (NUSSP), situated in Northern Uganda, Omoro District a is a registered Community-Based Organization (CBO) founded in March 2019.
A community Organisation that prioritizes education and health, advances agribusiness, food security, and livelihoods,
assists vulnerable families, preserves environment and cultural values.
The 20-year war in Northern Uganda was traumatizing. Many of the people suffered horrific atrocities and tragic family losses, displacement from their ancestral villages, and moved to overcrowded internally camp conditions. Some were abducted and forced to become child soldiers while others made rebel wifes. Some received psychosocial support services. Many did not. Such support services are still needed.
Additional factors create challenges including various elements of
modernity, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, youth
unemployment, illiteracy, malnutrition, food insecurity, drought, natural disaster, diseases, alcoholism and depression, the recent Covid 19 pandemic, the soaring cost of living and damage to ecosystems and climate change.
This is the current reality that the communities are dealing with and leave big gaps in lives of the people.
