Missions with Africa (MwA), is working with project manager, Ferdinand Okoch, in Barlonyo, the location of a terrible massacre by the LRA which left the community devastated, over 400 people killed, many abducted, and the homes all burned. Citizens were left scarred mentally, emotionally, and physically. From this choice a plan has been adopted and initiated.

The program is called, "Barlonyo Child Care Program", established with the goal of developing the many orphaned and disadvantaged children to be Godly contributors to their community. It is the desire of MwA to see these children raised up and educated within their own community and home areas so that, as they mature into adults, they can become leaders, providing stability and guidance in their own culture and encouraging a good future for their people.

The Child Care Program will be implemented as "Toto Village"  (the name given by one of the oldest ladies in Barlonyo), a project to bless children for many generations to come.

A mobile health unit is planned which will act as a drop-in centre to provide health services to the children at the village, the community in and around Barlonyo, and especially catering mothers and mothers-to-be.

A Chapel and Community Center with the name “The King of Glory Chapel and Community Center” will be provided for the village children and community to receive moral, spiritual, social and emotional help under the leadership of a Chaplain. This center will also be used for adult education and vocational training and will be the location for visiting medical teams and the mobile clinic which we hope to bring into the rural communities of Northern Uganda.
