WOMEN’S SHELTER + RESCUE
HER WORTH IS PRICELESS
The most marginalized and hurting people in Uganda are women. Often abandoned or widowed, victims of HIV+ or sex trafficking—they are destitute fearing that their children will soon join the ranks of Africa’s countless orphans.
We stand alongside our girls and help them regain confidence and find their inner strength to chase their dreams and build a bright future!
EMPOWERING THE UGANDAN GIRL
BECAUSE THE “GIRL” IS THE FUTURE
Often, girls in third-world countries are forced into marriage or hard labor jobs before the age of 13. We advocate for the young-women in our community, and work to create local dialogue on behalf of the girls living in our village.
Through our life-skills training program and residential care—young women who we call “Pearls” learn to tailor, make uniforms, cook different foods for retail, and receive business start-up training! With these new skills young-women are able to earn a salary which will help support them upon graduation from Pearl Village.
PEARL PROGRAM TESTIMONIAL
“While I lived at Pearl Village I was taught not only handy skills, but learned how to see my value.
Today my future is brighter than before and I have hope in my heart!”
— Lillian, Pearl Graduate
EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED IN A GIRL
ALLOWS HER TO BECOME A WOMAN WITH VISION
Investing in a young girl’s education, empowering a victim to escape sexual or domestic abuse, and equipping a woman with a trade-skill is a solid investment—one that we are proud to stand behind.
