The Problem  

In Jinja and surrounding districts in Uganda, over 50% of Survivors of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) do not access timely, integrated, and effective support services. Hence often forced to navigate a fragmented support system moving from police stations to hospitals and back, then to legal offices and so forth frequently alone and without psychosocial support. This disjointed approach not only retraumatizes survivors but also severely delays justice and healing. These delays can be even fatal, a case in point is a 16years old girl who was Pressured into an unsafe abortion, sought help but instead of urgent care, she was delayed by broken systems, stigma, and fear. By the time she reached a hospital, it was too late. Her death could have been prevented if a One-Stop Crisis Centre had existed.

Our Solution

Romic Care Foundation (ROCAF) is building a One-Stop GBV Crisis Centre, a safe Place open 24/7 where survivors will find: ✅ Urgent medical care within hours, not days✅ Psychosocial counseling for healing✅ Temporary safe shelter and protection✅ Legal aid to pursue justice✅ Reintegration support to rebuild lives

👉 No more running in circles. One door. One team. Immediate help.
