Every child deserves to be protected, educated, fed, healthy & loved. ABOUT GRACE VILLA
Grace Villa is a home and sanctuary committed to creating a safe, healthy, empowering space for orphaned, abandoned, abused and other at-risk girls. Thousands of children have passed through our care. Currently, 30 girls live within our home while the rest are safely situated with families. One of our biggest i

As well as vocational training. Uganda has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Sub-Saharan Africa, with over 25% registered every year. Uganda ranked as the 9th hotspot of child-marriages in the world. Education can change this. It builds knowledge, opens new opportunities and can help to shift norms around the value of girls in the community. So we work hard to remove barriers to girls' education. We provide school fees, school uniforms, school supplies like pens and books, food, clean water, and medical care. We provide sanitary towels so that girls are not absent from school during their periods. We are actively involved in their school parent-teacher meetings, in after school tutoring, field trips and other activities. We have also established systems to identify warning signs of child abuse, address the risks of child marriage, and we support underage married girls to leave marriages if desired.
