Uganda

The Fotografi Senza Frontiere (FSF - Photographers Without Borders) mission to Kalongo in the North of Uganda is an integral part of the three-year project Fondazioni4Africa 2008-2011, promoted by Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione Cariparma, Cariplo and Monte dei Paschi di Siena, in collaboration with a number of Italian Non-Government Organizations such as Cesvi, Amref and Coopi. These three NGOs have entrusted Fotografi Senza Frontiere with the task of documenting the complex theme of the return of refugees of war to their villages of origin, through multimedia laboratories aimed at students from the Kalongo secondary school, in the district of Pader. The written accounts and stories that have been collected will constitute a starting point for the development of initiatives of information, awareness-raising and education, which have been promoted in Italy by Cesvi, Amref and Coopi since the second half of 2008.
