Mission
To empower young women of Uganda, formerly imprisoned by and at risk of sexual exploitation and child labor, to become self-sustaining by providing a safe environment, education and rehabilitation.What We Do
Set Her Free withdraws young, vulnerable girls from the slum areas. We assess them both medically and psychologically. We provide a safe environment and educate them both formally and vocationally.We integrate them back into their community with employment and follow up on them for a 3 year period.
Set Her Free is 3 years old and has graduated 273 girls from vocational education with over 75% of all graduates employed and leading sustaining livelihoods. We have 32 sponsored full time boarding school students with 5 now at the University level.
Set Her Free has initiated a Reusable Sanitary Pad program that trains our vocational girls in tailoring to make the pads that are then distributed to many primary level school facilities in rural poverty stricken areas in order to lessen the drop out rate of young girls due to menstruation.
