For over two decades, Northern Uganda endured unimaginable hardship during the Lord’s Resistance Army insurgency. Families were torn apart and communities displaced. Out of this tragedy emerged Atonga Foundation, founded in 2006 by Ayeny T. Steve to help heal the hearts and rebuild the lives of those affected by conflict.
Atonga Foundation empowers women and youth through creative expression, vocational skills, psychosocial support, and community rehabilitation. Rooted in storytelling and cultural heritage, the Foundation restores dignity, promotes peace, and nurtures talent.
