The war in Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian crisis in the world today, leaving nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. A young boy named Innocent walks into the city every night, rain or shine. Not free to sleep at home, he night commutes for fear of being abducted by the rebel army. He will walk until there is peace. This is Invisible Children’s first bracelet, White is for Innocent: the story of a night commuter.
White is for Innocent is one of eight bracelets created through Invisible Children's Bracelet Campaign. Each bracelet is a different color, and each color represents an individual child. These colored bracelets are accompanied by an inspiring short film - White is for Innocent runs 10 minutes long - about a child that has been personally affected by this unrelenting war. Our bracelets are handmade in Uganda out of reed that is dyed black. The wire is copper, coated in rubber that is painted for each particular bracelet campaign. Once sold, the money raised helps sustain valuable programs on both sides of the globe. Finally, a bracelet that comes full circle.
