Support Acid Attack Survivors in Uganda
RISE helps empower acid attack survivors, who are at risk of being trafficked.
We offer help to those who desire to come out of the lifestyle and work of prostitution by providing them with a Safe House to live in and a Recovery Program. The Safe House provides a place for the women to live independently in a supportive context and our Recovery Program allows them to deal with the trauma of their past, while preparing them practically for their future. The program is delivered in phases and addresses important issues such as learning to engage in healthy relationships, improving their quality of life, increasing their level of education and so on. The end goal of the program is for the women to begin a new, sustainable career and transition into fully independent living.
