Tabitha, Desire, Leila, Shafic and Lydia represent their Child Rights Clubs, Child Protection Teams and Early Learning Centres in the suburbs of Jinja, Uganda where endemic poverty puts thousands of children at risk of abuse and exploitation.

We work alongside six communities in Jinja to create protective environments for their children; transforming them into safe spaces where children are protected from harm and are able to thrive.
