In our community, children who live and work on the streets are often perceived as nuisances and even blamed as perpetrators of violence. The derogatory term “Aguu,” commonly used to describe street-connected individuals and other wrongdoers in Gulu, carries a heavy burden of stigma, akin to passing a death sentence or long-term social judgment. 

However, our organization has a proven track record of advocacy and speaking up where it matters. We actively engage with schools and communities, seeking opportunities to communicate and interact with people, including families. Through radio and online campaigns, we strive to transform mindsets, urging individuals to embrace their responsibilities as responsible citizens and challenge the negative stereotypes associated with vulnerable children and youth in street situations.
