We recognize that early years matter so we invest in equipping and empowering our girls with nurture, a healthy mind through proper education and engaging them in debates, book clubs and dynamic social interactions; a healthy body through nutritious meals, health check-ups and exercise; and instilling confidence through nurture; and the ability to protect their bodies through safety, knowledge and selfdefense skills.

We currently have over 200 plus children under our care. 24 of these girls live within the Grace Villa home itself. This number fluctuates through the year, taking into account a number of things.

• Emergency temporary girl child placements that we receive from the Kabale Probation Office and Uganda Police
• The school calendar – as some girls attend boarding school which means they are away during the school term
• Home visits during attempted reunification and reintegration with surviving relatives or foster families. A typical home visit is over the long Christmas school break.
