It was registered in 2001 as an NGO non-profit non-governmental organisation in the Republic of Uganda. (CRY Uganda Reg. No. is S. 5914/3555).

It arose out of the desire to change the prevalent culture of violence to that of non-violence by addressing issues that face young people today. This is backed by the firm belief that young people need to be exposed to wider horizons in order to change their lifestyles and attitudes – the guiding principle in CRY’s mission, a bold step in realising and securing social entrepreneurship. CRY Uganda is currently working on youth peace projects in south-east Asia and all over Uganda, but with particular focus to the northern and eastern parts of the Uganda in the districts of Lira, Kampala, Wakiso, Gulu, Kasese, Kabale, Bushenyi, Kitgum, Bukedea, Kapchorwa, Soroti, Kumi and Nakapiripirit, Moroto, Kitgum, Amuru, among others. CRY Uganda are part of a number of networks globally and exploit the magic that together we are stronger.
