Photo: Two brothers participated in the USAID-funded reintegration program and were reunited with their family.

Two brothers—both former child fighters—who went through the WAYS program and have been reintegrated into their families, are in front of the family pig farm. Like many former child soldiers who joined the program after hearing about it through friends, the younger brother followed his older sibling's example. After graduation from the program's agriculture training, the boys received a basic toolkit and a few piglets as part of their reintegration package.
