In 2015, Promise Child began working with women in Arua, Uganda that have been through the most horrific experiences that one could imagine. By providing them a safe shelter, we can keep them from the terrors of human trafficking. We not only have an outreach program that is reaching girls on the street with God’s Word weekly, but our Promise of Hope House has a 18-month discipleship program bringing these young ladies off of the street and caring for their every need.
Most importantly, this 18-month program is an internship that allows them to get grounded in the Word of God and serve within the body of a local church in Arua. Graduating students receive job training, can continue in Christian education, can go through more extensive discipleship training, and many are in college being provided for through our Jeremiah Fund.
It is estimated that there are up to to 12,000 children exploited in sex trafficking in Uganda. In 2020, the government reported children were sold at markets for $5.46-$13.70.
Transformational Testimonies From Uganda
We’ve had the pleasure of serving young women with a wide range of needs and trauma throughout the years. Although it’s difficult to hear these stories and see the pain many women worldwide wrongfully suffer, it’s necessary. We need to listen to their voices, see their faces, and meet their needs! We want our Promise Girls to know that they are not invisible, that we have a God who sees and is acquainted with sorrow. Please take a few minutes to hear their stories and see their transformation.
