Counselling and Guidance

According to the Uganda Violence Against Children Survey (VACS), 2015 indicates 25.4% of girls among 13-17-year-olds experienced sexual abuse. Consequently, a higher prevalence of contemplation of suicide among survivors is reported due to depression, stigma and trauma. As part of our direct support, we focus on giving psychosocial support to survivors as a coping mechanism that instils in children the confidence to resist and also speak up regarding experiences of sexual violence acts. A call for your donation will provide hope towards survivors through seeking for professional and technical manpower to offer counselling services to survivors.
