Securing Futures, Ending Abuse: Thanks to Your Support
Introduction
In Uganda's communities, abuse and neglect rob children of their potential. At GABA HOPE FOR KIDS, your support is changing that. Through education, protection, and empowerment, we're securing futures and ending cycles of abuse – and it's working.
The Reality
- 1 in 3 Ugandan children experience sexual abuse before 18 (UNICEF).
