About Invisible Children:
Joseph Kony and
the Lord’s Resistance Army have been abducting, killing, and displacing
civilians in East and central Africa since 1987. We first encountered these

for his life and a woman named Jolly who had a vision for a better future.
Together, we promised Jacob that we would do whatever we could to stop Joseph
Kony and the LRA. Invisible Children was founded in 2004 to fulfill that
promise. Invisible Children focuses exclusively on the LRA conflict through an
