Bringing hope to the young mothers. Yesterday, we had group engagement with the teenage mothers at office to orient them on the tailoring training program we we hope to begin in April 2023. They embraced the program as it raised more hope to improve on their livelihood conditions. We appreciate all the efforts that have been and still working so hard to make this happen. 🙏🙏🙏 We call for your continued support as we have a long way to go for it's success.

This morning at DAJ guest house, we had very fruitful concrete discussions between three organisations, namely,UZIMA Ministries, Fort Portal Mental Health Initiative, and KRC Uganda: The chief executives exchanged ideas and agreed on a joint MOU that would see the holistic driven approach to mental health!

Another tough story today of a young girl (16 yrs) who was r***d while working a a house helper in one of the home far away from her place of origin, she forced to leave her job as they described her as a pr******te. She is currently having a two weeks baby with no support, the father of the child can't be traced, she lives with her mother who is unemployed. She worried about the future, not being able to get clothes and basic needs for the baby. The is currently presenting symptoms of post natal depression. We call upon whoever has something to support this young mother. It's just emotionally draining for the whole family.
