Day 2 – Helping Women Heal 💛
Today was a powerful day at Shekinah Church, where I had the privilege of speaking about women’s mental health, family principles, and breaking cycles of trauma. For many women here, standing up against domestic violence or raising a family alone can be deeply challenging — often accompanied by shame and little support from their communities.
We spent time with families discussing the power of kindness, both toward others and ourselves. We explored how trauma forms and how one brave choice to confront abuse can begin to heal generations of suffering. These women, caring for their families in the face of so much hardship, are shaping a better future with remarkable courage.
Our team was able to provide the church with a new dry erase board — a small step toward expanding their teaching tools. Together, we’re helping leaders learn how to mentor other families using trauma-informed lessons. Their dream is to create a vocational school where women and children can learn trades and build sustainable futures. With the team, we’re committed to supporting their vision and growing mental health awareness in the heart of Kampala.
Every woman I met today carried stories of pain, but also incredible strength and hope. They are eager to learn, to heal, and to help others do the same. I leave today feeling deeply grateful and inspired by their resilience and light. 🌿✨
