JOIN good forces

JOIN good forces is a Norwegian humanitarian organization that works in conflict areas. It was founded in 1993 by Bent Rønsen under the name Christian Relief Network, and it adopted its current name in 2012. The organization describes its mission as bringing help and strengthening women, children and men in fragile states that are trying to rebuild after war and conflict. JOIN good forces has operated in several conflict zones where few other organizations have been granted access. Among its earliest areas of work was Bosnia, where it managed to gain sufficient trust from the warring parties to deliver emergency aid in besieged enclaves. This access to hard-to-reach populations has been a defining characteristic of the organization's work. One of the organization's major focus areas is the "Gi oss en sjanse" ("Give Us a Chance") project, which reintegrates child soldiers into civilian life. The project began with a "Gi meg en sjanse" ("Give Me a Chance") center near the town of Kasese, at the foot of the Ruwenzori Mountains in Uganda. The organization continues to work in fragile states, combining emergency relief with longer-term rehabilitation and reintegration efforts.

JOIN good forces was founded in 1993 by Bent Rønsen under the name Christian Relief Network. The organization was established as a Norwegian humanitarian actor focused on conflict areas. In its early years, it worked in Bosnia, where it succeeded in gaining enough trust from the warring parties to deliver emergency aid in besieged enclaves — a notable achievement given the limited access available to many aid groups at the time. In 2012, the organization changed its name from Christian Relief Network to JOIN good forces. This rebranding accompanied its continued work in fragile states. A major focus area has been the "Gi oss en sjanse" ("Give Us a Chance") project, which reintegrates child soldiers into civilian life. The project started with a "Gi meg en sjanse" ("Give Me a Chance") center near Kasese, at the foot of the Ruwenzori Mountains in Uganda. The organization has continued to operate in conflict-affected regions, combining emergency relief with rehabilitation and reintegration programs.
