DESCRIPTION: http://www.surfaceuganda.4t.com  SURFACE is a Non-Profit, Non-Govermental, 
 Non-descriminative HIV/AIDS support Organisation established in 2003 and 
 based in Gulu district, in the northern part of uganda. The organisation's 
 goal is to support families affected by aids/hiv through capacity 
 enhancement. This can be achieved through disseminate HIV/AIDS information 
 in order to promote, inform and support appropriate responses to the 
 epidemic in the fields of HIV prevention, care, long-term planning and 
 coping with the impact   Situation in Gulu District of Northern Uganda   
 Gulu District in Northern Uganda comprises a population of 467,523 
 (National census 2002). This is close to 50% of the entire population in 
 the Acholi sub region. Though the rest of Uganda experienced commendable 
 economic progress during the NRM tenure, the Acholi sub region continued to 
 lag far behind in all aspects due to the 17 year old rebellion. The result 
 of this age-old insurgency is that the socio-economic infrastructure is 
 completely destroyed. Close to one million persons have been displaced to 
 live in Internally Displace Peoples (IDP) camps. The people in IDPCs have 
 diminished capacity to support themselves, and depend on external support 
 from UN-WFP and other Humanitarian agencies. The moral breakdown due to 
 this social disruption is unspeakable, marked by high levels of alcohol 
 consumption, sexual abuse, early marriages and defilement, STD and high 
 potential risks of HIV/AIDS infection.   SURFACE-UGANDA  \n
