The communities served by MPI, such as the Acholi Quarter in Kireka, are home to many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Northern Uganda, primarily of Acholi ethnicity. These individuals fled decades of violence tied to the Lord’s Resistance Army, enduring trauma such as kidnapping, sexual violence and displacement.
The stigma surrounding HIV further isolates many women, leaving them powerless and marginalized in their families and society.
