PROJECTS

Global Development Group
projects around the world work to
transform the lives of women just
like Hamidah.
When Hamidah was 14 years old,
she was kidnapped and trafficked
out of her home country Uganda.
Locked in a windowless room, she
was kept as a slave for almost
two years. When she escaped and
returned to Uganda she discovered
she was HIV+ and pregnant. She felt
like her future was gone.
Some time later she encountered
GDG partner Watoto. Through
project J416 she has found
restoration from the hurts of the
past. Today her and her son have
hope for their future and live
knowing they are accepted within
their community.
