Advocacy for child soldiers My Star in the Sky Mulroy is a co-maker along with
U.S. Navy SEAL Eric Oehlerich, of the documentary film,
My Star in the Sky, which in the
Acholi dialect of
Uganda and
South Sudan is “Lakalatwe.” The film portrays the relationship between two former child soldiers in the
Lord's Resistance Army led by
Joseph Kony, who rebelled against the government of Uganda for decades. Mulroy's goal in making the film was to draw attention to the ongoing abuse of child soldiers in many countries. Foreign Policy reports that the documentary came about after Mulroy and Oehlerich met a family of former child soldiers during
Operation Observant Compass (OOC). the
Atlantic Council, a Washington, D.C.–based
think tank for international affairs, the
Enough Project, a non-profit group to end crimes against humanity,
Georgetown University's Institute for the Study of Diplomacy, and the
Truman National Security Project.
Grassroots Reconciliation Group Mulroy serves on the Board of Directors for the Grassroots Reconciliation Group (GRG). GRG was initiated as part of a
United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded program called the Northern Uganda Peace Initiative (NUPI) to reconcile and rehabilitate former child soldiers of Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army. He also became a Special Advisor to the United Nations, co-director of the Yemen Steering Initiative.
End Child Soldiering Mulroy co-founded End Child Soldiering and serves as co-president. The organisation works to prevent the recruitment of child soldiers and support affected children through prevention programs, and rehabilitation initiatives.
Lobo Institute Mulroy is co-founder of the Lobo Institute, an organization specializing in analysis of armed conflicts and humanitarian activities. The institute collaborates with international organizations including the
UN and the
U.S. State Department and provides training for specialists including journalists working in
conflict zones.
Fogbow Mulroy leads the advisory group Fogbow, focused on delivering aid to conflict regions. Fogbow does not engage in military activity but specializes in logistics and coordination of humanitarian operations. Mulroy is president of the company, and Eric Oehlerich serves as chief operating officer. Individuals affiliated with this effort include
David Beasley, former Executive Director of the
World Food Programme and Governor of South Carolina;
Dana Shell Smith, former U.S. Ambassador and career diplomat; and
Carl E. Mundy, retired Lieutenant General in the U.S. Marine Corps. The Lobo Institute and Fogbow bring together U.S.
military veterans, primarily from
special operations, and the international humanitarian community to conduct
humanitarian operations in various countries. Commenting on Fogbow's work in South Sudan, Mulroy stated, "We've worked for careers, collectively, in conflict zones. And we know how to essentially make very difficult situations work." But once the
Biden Administration decided the U.S. military would construct a pier off the coast of Gaza, Fogbow shifted operations, moving 1,100 metric tons of food across the pier on behalf of
Global Communities and other aid agencies.
Sudan In 2024, Fogbow delivered 1,185 tons of food aid to the
Kordofan region with support from
USAID, targeting populations at
IPC 5— the highest level of famine risk.
South Sudan Fogbow continued their operations in
South Sudan, which included air dropping 600 metric tons of aid to a group of people in
IPC 4 famine. ==Philosophy==
