Bosco, a child soldier in Africa, marched for days without food or water. Bosco did not dream of the future. He only focused on the immediate present, as he knew he might not live another day. Armed with an AK-47 to loot and kill, he recalls his abduction from his Northern Ugandan house by the Lord's resistance army. He recalls the sight of his parents, shot dead, lying lifeless. He recalls the adrenaline pumping as he felt the barrel of a pistol pressed against his forehead. He recalls the desperation he felt as the officers forced him into their jeep. He hears a gunshot, and snaps out of his recollection of the past. If he wants to stay alive, he needs to stay alert, even without the food and water to do so. He doesn't want to end up like one of the tens of thousands of children murdered within the last twenty years in the small African country of Uganda.
The Invisible children is trying to stop this from happening to any child. This non-profit organization, run by a group of young adults, aims to stop Kony, the leader of the LRA, the organization responsible for these kidnappings.
The Invisible Children organization looks to make this problem in Africa viral. If more people know about this problem, more people will contribute towards stopping Kony. If Kony is stopped, these children will be saved. As seen in the graph below, 80.6% of the funds going toward the Invisible Children organization is contributed directly towards stopping Kony.
These proceeds will go toward several projects funded by the Invisible children. Radio towers will be set up in African villages, allowing for communication between the villages regarding the LRA's whereabouts. The economy of Uganda will be restored through investments in education, defense, and economic recovery programs. The invisible children is also using their funding to make movies and documentaries to make this problems even more viral. However, this problem can't be solved without your help.
This problem is happening right now. Many African children have AK-47's mounted on their backs. They're marching without food or water, searching for African schools to abduct more children.
Why? These children don't deserve this fate. They need our help. We are the only people who can help the invisibles. WE can donate our time, notifying others of this problem. We can donate our money, helping set up radio towers. We can donate our efforts, making sure this ends. We need to make this happen.
