About  [Edit]

Transition US is a nonprofit organization that provides inspiration, support, training, and networking for Transition Initiatives across the United States. We are working in close partnership with the Transition Network, a UK based organization that supports the international Transition Movement as a whole.

The Transition Movement is a vibrant, grassroots movement that seeks to build community resilience in the face of such challenges as peak oil, climate change and the economic crisis. It represents one of the most promising ways of engaging people in strengthening their communities against the effects of these challenges, resulting in a life that is more abundant, fulfilling, equitable and socially connected.

We believe that we can make the transition to a more sustainable world. We hope that you will join us.

Dear sir/madam,

 

Am writing in on behalf of Restoration of African Culture Healing organisation, the only orgaisation that creates awareness among communities about the ANTI HUMAN SACRIFICE.

The project involves educating the masses about its intension and protection measures. It should not be forgoten that:

 

The violent and remorseless butchering of human beings particularly the young children; ostensibly for a ritualistic sacrifice is a profound problem that is common place in Uganda today. The problem started manifesting slowly occasionally in the central part of the country when a five year old Muhamed  Shamin was sacrificed in a ritual sacrifice in 2004. Bukedde September 18th 2004.

After this the problem appeared to helot until 2006 when cases were reported with frightening frequently, most specifically around central region of the country. The most striking and sticking incidence involved murder of a young boy Muguluma from Lugala in Lubaga division Kampala district. Bukedde 6th August Since then virtually every week mutilated body is discovered decomposing in some parts of the country with private parts and tongues missing, making it prospective to suppose a correlation between the murderer and ritualistic sacrifice as the privacy motive.

Subsequently, a lot of controversy has been raging in formal and informal circles about the cause of the problem, magnitude and above all possible culprits without any cohevent and helpful way forward. The government of its part lacks a definitive policy, legislation and indeed frame work within which to comprehensively address the problem. In fine frustration, the public has grown frustrated and resorted to mob justice or violent unlawful murder of whether is slightly linked to human sacrifice.

In the circumstances, it’s difficult to tell if these suspects are indeed guilty or innocent. In light of the foregoing, it is imperative that RACHO comes out with a creative and practical strategy of proximately evaluating the problem of human sacrifice in Uganda by addressing the privacy motivation, methods, culprits, consequences and above all proposing bold measures in respect of the same.

On basis of this sad background Restoration of African Culture Healing Organization has come out with a project to check the problem.

 

kindly reply to us and comment on how  we can collaborate/ affiliate and found these projects in order to cub the problem since you are also in community participation 

thank you
