Impact Stories

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Project in Ntungamo

In Ntungamo, we are addressing the high prevalence of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) through a multifaceted project that provides critical support to survivors and empowers communities to prevent further violence.

Survivor Support: We provide survivors with safe shelters, legal aid, counseling, and economic empowerment opportunities to help them rebuild their lives.
Community Awareness: Through community engagement, training programs, and partnerships with local leaders, we raise awareness about the causes and consequences of GBV, and promote gender equality.
Partnerships with Local Organizations: Our collaboration with local churches and community groups enhances the reach and sustainability of the project, ensuring a holistic approach to ending GBV in the area.
Safe Spaces: We have created safe spaces for women and children where they can seek refuge, share experiences, and access necessary resources without fear of stigma or discrimination.

Despite the progress we’ve made, the need for continued support is urgent. The project continues to face challenges in terms of resources and scaling, and we are committed to working with donors and partners to expand its impact.

Refugee Settlements in Western Uganda

PSEAH Initiative Uganda is committed to expanding our work in refugee settlements in Kiryandongo, Kyaka II, Kyangwari, Rwamwanja, and Nakivaale. These areas face numerous challenges, including GBV, child protection issues, and limited access to education and healthcare. We are calling for joint support to improve the living conditions, safety, and well-being of refugees through comprehensive programs in these regions.

Supporting Education through School Partnerships

With limited funds, we have sought partnerships with schools in Kampala, Wakiso, Ssembabule, Masaka, and Ntungamo to provide bursaries for 67 children in the past four years and over 200+ children with education aid in the past seven years. These children, enrolled in both primary and secondary schools, are receiving support for their education. However, the need is still dire, and we urgently require more funding to ensure more children can access quality education and break the cycle of poverty.
