The house is owned by the association’s founder Ms. Grace Ertzgaard, and located in a simple residential area of Lira.

О себе
Tohender was founded by Ms. Grace Auma Ertzgaard in 2007 and the aassociation was registered in the Brønnøysund Register Centre of Norway that same year. Ms. Ertzgaard has lived in Norway since 1986, but is originally from Lira, a small town in northern Uganda.
While the rest of Uganda since the late 80′s enjoyed peace and economic growth, the population of the north was terrorized by the rebel group Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). The abuse included looting, rape, murder and kidnapping of children. International aid organizations have documented that thousands of children have been used as child soldiers and forced to take part in atrocities in Uganda, Sudan and Congo.
Although the Ugandan government fought the rebel group for more than 20 years, also engaging in peace talks, they were unable to destroy the LRA or catch it’s leader Joseph Kony. To protect the local population, the Government established camps for internally displaced persons that still exist today. Conditions in these camps are very poor. Olilim is one such camp.
