War Will Never Have the Last Word
War steals millions of childhoods each year. With your help, we can end cycles of violence by restoring lives and equipping the next generation to lead their communities toward peace and reconciliation.
Join us to empower child survivors of war to become leaders for peace through art-focused trauma care and holistic rehabilitation programs. Because every child deserves a chance to thrive!
WHY WE EXIST
Hundreds of thousands of children lost to war in DR Congo & Uganda
We're bringing healing and breaking the cycle.
At fourteen years old, Shalom's village and family were attacked. Taken from his family, Shalom was trafficked and used as a slave. Years of childhood innocence were stolen and replaced by trauma, pain, and loss.
"Praise the Lord! God had greater plans for my life and rescued me!" — Shalom.
Rescued by UN Peacekeepers, church leaders connected Shalom to Exile International, where he received holistic care from counselors and mentors. Having experienced God's miraculous redemption — Shalom now leads healing groups for war-affected youth. Helping others like himself experience healing and hope in Christ!
OUR APPROACH
Empowering Leaders for Peace in Congo & Uganda
Holistic, Christ-Centered Rehabilitation
Local counselors use a Christ-centered, curricula-based model called the HOPE Initiative to help youth overcome trauma compounded by war!
Focused on healing spirits, minds, and bodies — Exile's comprehensive programming meets the mental, emotional, and physical needs of children wounded by war through art-focused trauma care, leadership development, and so much more!
Art-Focused Trauma Care
Music, dance, drama, and more provide safe avenues for children to process trauma that may be too challenging to express in words.
Holistic Rehabilitation
Holistic care programs offer youth education, leadership development, peace-building skills training, discipleship, and basic needs.
