The need
Violence against girls in the slums of Kampala is rising, robbing them of their education and pushing them deeper into poverty. During the COVID school closures, over 60% of girls experienced sexual violence, and child motherhood rates soared. Pregnant girls often face stigma that prevents them from returning to school or accessing vital healthcare.

Our solution
We offer specialised support to help girls rebuild their lives free from fear. This month, we hit a huge milestone - we reached over 10,364 girls with safety, sexual health services and support at Nansamba Safe Haven since we started these new project in Jauary 2023

We support child mothers and survivors of violence by:

• Providing a safe space for girls escaping violence.

• Ensuring access to girl-friendly post-rape care and sexual health services.

• Fast-tracking out-of-school girls back into education.

• Offering literacy, vocational skills and business training so they can earn an income.

Why your support matters

The demand for our services continues to grow, and securing funding is becoming harder. Demand for our services continues to grow, and securing funding is becoming harder. We can only continue offering hope to girls like Miremba with your support.

15-year-old, Miremba was trafficked to Kampala at age 12:

“I was brought to Kampala to be a house girl, but it turned out to be for sex work. I couldn’t contact my family and didn’t know how to stay safe. This January, I met a woman from Awamu at a health outreach. I was scared, but she was kind. I tested positive for HIV, and I struggled to accept it. The team help me go to the hospital, where I now receive Anti-Retroviral treatment. They also give me counselling and help me monitor my medication. I am coping. I’m also learning new skills to earn a living and feel happy I can see a new future now.”
