In Uganda, 36 survivors are ready to spread their wings after finishing their vocational training and graduating from community care late last month.<\/h5>\n

The girls – who upskilled in our reintegration program – are now prepared to become hairdressers and entrepreneurs, launching tailoring and second-hand clothing businesses in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Core fundamentals
\n<\/b>In our program, survivors received counseling, specialized classes and vocational training as they journeyed on their individual paths to freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Counseling is foundational to survivors\u2019 time in our program. Counselors work intentionally with girls and sometimes their families. Our staff is adept at handling trauma as well as helping families find relational healing together.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of the 36 survivors attended classes, set in a strategic order, focusing on trauma rehabilitation, discipleship then practical business philosophies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After this time to heal and mature, the girls were presented with vocational training options and chose a skill that best suited them. The most common choices in this region are tailoring, hairdressing and selling second-hand clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
