Story of the Month: The Women of Apac
There is a group of roughly one hundred women, living in a remote jungle area in northern Uganda known as Apac. Most of these women are widowed. They’ve lost their husbands to war, disease or AIDS. Many ended up in a nearby refugee camp when they fled for their lives to avoid a violent rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army. Most of the women have children in need of food, clothing and shelter. They have very little opportunity to earn a daily living. Most live in small mud huts with roofs of thatched grass. And, in addition to these overwhelming challenges, most of the women are HIV-positive.
This group of women is served by Eagle’s Nest Ministries in Uganda. To read more about Eagle’s Nest and/or make a donation, click here.
