What your organisation does
Waakisa Ministries is a non-denominational Christian Charity which aims to:- *Provide care and support for young vulnerable girls who are pregnant and alone. *Deliver health education programmes to local schools and churches. Working in our centre in Uganda we have a team of trained Ugandan staff who provide a safe environment for girls and their
babies. During their stay at the centre each girl receives care support appropriate to their individual needs. Personal development plans provide the girls with the opportunity to develop life skills and undertake training programmes to enable them to provide for themselves and their babies in the future. The hope is that each girl will eventually return to their community and live independently with support from local Christians. Based at the centre a team of staff and volunteers also plan and deliver health education programmes in primary, post primary schools and churches with over 1000 young people accessing the programme on a weekly basis
