Focus Africa: Conflict
Thanks to your generosity, Focus Africa has raised more than £1 million to improve the lives of thousands of people across Africa. But the struggle is far from over.
With your continued support we can help thousands of other women, men and children to improve their lives.
The latest theme we are focusing on is conflict, especially the work being done on trauma counselling in Uganda following a 20-year civil war there, and in Kenya after the recent post-election violence.
We hope you find the stories here inspiring.
