Childcare Kitgum Servants was founded in 1988 by Irene Gleeson when she visited Africa and was concerned at the plight of children in war-torn northern Uganda. In 1991 she sold her Sydney, Australia beachside home, founded CHILDCARE Kitgum Servants (CKS) and waved a teary goodbye to her 4 children and grandchildren. She towed her caravan to the war zone of Kitgum of North Uganda, gathered 50 war traumatised children under a mango tree and began to teach and feed them.
Today, Childcare Kitgum Servants services and care includes:
- 10,000 children are given FULL DAY CARE / SCHOOLING / MEDICINE & FEEDING in 5 CKS schools.
- Medical and malnourished feeding clinic
- Gloryland Junction AIDS hospice & infant orphanage
- Community Churches
- FM Radio Station
- Cultural Arts Studio
- Water bores
