Summary

Research conducted in April and May of 2005, resulted in a report entitled “Uganda’s response to Street Children: Investigating the Validity and Impact of Kamparingisa National Rehabilitation Centre (KNRC) in Working with Street Children in Uganda.” The report identified a “huge influx of Karamojong” from Northeast Uganda, and highlighted a major gap in understanding and intervention pertaining to street children originating from Karamoja.

This research seeks to bridge the gap between the will to take action and the need for comprehensive information surrounding this issue.
