You are healing communities

By Cassandra Jones | Communications and Development Associate

Since creating EDJA, you’ve fought alongside your community to combated sexual and domestic violence. In three years, more than 400,000 people have been educated about sexual and domestic violence through school visits and radio programs. The community education you provide is helping improve the understanding of sexual assault.

This year you built two EDJA Healing Centers in Kambuga and Kanungu, giving survivors places they can go to receive help and medical care. In the last four months, you’ve registered an estimated 106 survivors. Thanks to your support, all survivors received FREE counseling, medical, and legal support. Though survivors in your community may receive support, many still face the trauma of their experience, but they have you in their corner.

Because of your support, students are able to stay in school and grandmothers are able to keep providing for their families. Thank you for being a hero!

You give survivors a chance

EDJA's founder Tabitha Mpamira-Kaguri

Thank you for being a champion fighting child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence in rural Uganda! Thanks to you, EDJA has had undergone exciting changes in the last year! Not only has the EDJA Foundation merged with Nyaka to address sexual assault in Uganda, but EDJA has also opened a second healing center at in Kanungu where survivors can go for emergency medical support, counseling, and legal advocacy

EDJA works with community police, judiciary, and leaders so survivors can receive the justice they deserve. So far, you are helping more than 80 survivors work towards their healing. This includes children as young as four years old. You are giving survivors the loving support they need to work toward their healing.

Since the launch of your EDJA Healing Center, more than 400,000 people have been educated about sexual and domestic violence through school visits and radio programs.

Thanks to your generous support, we held the second annual Walk to End Gender-Based Violence in July. You brought 3,000 people together to march for equality and listen to great speakers share about how they can help their community fight sexual and domestic violence.

Because of you, communities in Uganda are learning how to support survivors and find help when they need it.

You are a true champion in the fight against sexual and domestic violence! Thank you!
