With your continued financial support we are continuing to provide group and individual based MBSR therapy sessions to refugee women and girls survivors of Gender Based Violence.
On Friday 31st October we launched a new group of 10 survivors who will undergo 8 days MBSR sessions lasting upto 2 hours per day. During the baseline assessment on Trauma symptoms, 90% of the women reported poor sleep patterns, memory problems, relational challenges, anger problems and lack of hope in life. They also reported inability to concentrate and focus. Within the first day of our sessions and with a few Mindfulness exercises that we conducted, many of the women of the women and girls reported relaxation in their body muscles which initially they felt were tense.
We’ve created the Voice for Humanity Circle — a small, heartfelt space where refugee women share their stories of pain, courage, and healing.
Every few days, you’ll receive a short message or video from a survivor — and you can respond with a few words of strength.
Those words are read aloud in our healing circles in Uganda — letting each woman know she is not alone
If you’d like to be part of this quiet, powerful movement — here’s the link to join:

We are grateful for your continued generosity that is helping bring healing and restoration into the lives of thousands of refugee women and girls here at Adjumani.
