Who We Are...

Over 30 years of war of Karamjong cattle raiders, LRA rebels’ activities, and South Sudan war led to many child-headed families many of which were internally displaced to live in difficult lives in the camps. LISCOD is focused on helping people recover from post war traumas.

For nearly 20 years of helping the victims of LRA war find hope through Christian counselling, evangelism, livelihood empowerment for the war-torn youth and women, relief services to the windows and elderly among others, the founders have developed understanding and experience in transforming lives of the the people experiencing hardships.

The

Founder’s story

Catherine Odong the Founder of LiISCOD was born in 1985 an era when the Karamjog cattle raiders were at their peak of terror in the northern and eastern regions of Uganda. They not only raided helpless people’s cows but also killed the owners. This was also the time when civil wars in Uganda were at their epitome and later the infamous lord’s resistance army’s occupation and terror of the northern region. In 1988, Catherine’s both parents were killed by the raiders and left behind six helpless children with the youngest at six months. This was the beginning of Catherine’s horrible existence.

The only hope left for the orphans was their relatives. The clan distributed the children amongst the relatives. The act that was meant to relieve the children from the grief of lost parents fueled the misery. Catherine’s relatives prioritized their own children at her own expense. She was subjected to child labor and denied an opportunity to study like her cousins.
