Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Services
Mission: Invisible Children exists to end violence and exploitation in our worlds most isolated and vulnerable communities.
Target demographics: end violence and exploitation facing our isolated and vulnerable communities.
Direct beneficiaries per year: over 140 communities and over 70 former armed group captives
Geographic areas served: Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Sudan
Programs: An Early Warning System that connects isolated communities to one another allowing them to share life-saving security information with one another, and report violence against them to the outside world. Support to diverse local Peace Committees who work together to improve the safety of their communities. We work with Peace Committees to develop local action plans that can help them reduce their community's vulnerability to violence and help them respond safely to threats. Support for women, children, and men returning from armed group captivity. We arrange for immediate care, help former captives locate their families, and facilitate their travel home. Support to community-led efforts to address trauma, education and sensitization to the impact of conservation on community safety, and support for environmentally-friendly livelihoods.
