Safe Haven Africa Project

In Uganda, teenage mothers who have suffered abuse or unplanned pregnancies face extreme vulnerability. Many lack access to education, counseling, and skills to support themselves, leaving them trapped in cycles of poverty and trauma.

Safe Haven rescues these young mothers by providing a six-month residential program where they receive trauma counseling, spiritual support, literacy and numeracy training, vocational skills (weaving, sewing, baking), and financial literacy. Each mother completes the program empowered, healed, and ready to start her own small business with startup capital, such as a sewing machine or oven.

With your support, each $2,000 donation fully sponsors one mother for a six-month cohort, covering her housing, training, counseling, medical, feeding and startup capital. In 2026, our goal is to empower 40 young mothers across two cohorts, giving them the tools and confidence to break the cycle of poverty and abuse.
