In Memory of Margaret Alerotek


Tragically on July 31, 2007, Margaret Aloyo Alerotek, passed away shortly after being taken to Gulu Municipal Hospital. Her death is being investigated by Uganda police for suspicion of murder by cyanide poisoning

Margaret, 27, served as a communications officer for World Vision in Uganda.

A former sponsored child from Gulu, Margaret worked for World Vision in Uganda since October 2004. Her story — along with her passionate pursuit of peace in northern Uganda — represents the best of World Vision's first fruits in its work in that region. In 1986, Margaret's parents were murdered by rebels from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA); she and her siblings were adopted by a woman in their community.
