Help Support our vulnerable young women survivors with much needed support during Covid, and help us maintain our program.
Amilia’s Light is a (501)C3 non-profit that believes in the humanity and essential dignity of all people and their ability to access what they need. Our program seeks to empower, heal and provide skills to young women who are victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking to enhance their self-worth and capacity for agency. We affirm the importance of community and helping one another here and across the globe.
Under normal circumstances the young women in our programs are vulnerable. One week after we started this year's program, the Ugandan Ministry of Health banned all public gatherings, shut down public transportation, closed all roads to automobile traffic and put a stay-at-home order in place with a 6 pm. curfew.
