In 2002, CCF opened an Interim Care and Rehabilitation Center to receive children abducted by the LRA, provide them with counseling, and trace family members for reunification. About 2,000 children, including child mothers, passed through the center and were reunited with their families. The Center is currently being used for vocational training but it is ready to receive the large amount of children who will be demobilized when the LRA signs a peace agreement.  |
