MSA has successfully reunified 17 children who were abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) with their families in Maridi County.

The children — some of whom had been separated from their families for years — were traced through a comprehensive family reunification process led by MSA's child protection team.

How It Works

  • Family tracing and verification
  • Psychosocial support for the child and family
  • Community sensitisation to prevent stigma
  • Follow-up visits to ensure successful reintegration

A Community Effort

This work was only possible through close coordination with local authorities, police, community leaders and child protection committees.
