| About Us | |||
|
Currently we are in Gulu, Uganda and have opened up two after-care homes for girl child soldiers, and girls rescued from child prostitution where girls receive love, mentoring, counseling, education, and life skills training. In 2006, Zion Project spent 6 months conducting research among child mothers in Northern Uganda identifying their needs, wants, and gaps in services. We've listened to their stories, counseled them, and prayed with them. All our work is done in partnership with the girls we develop relationships with, their communities, and with local churches—their input and ownership guides our programs; for more information on the photography empowerment program or to book an exhibit at your church or venue email info@zionproject.org.

Current Programs Child Mother Home A safe place for child mothers and former child soldiers to be loved, healed, and restored in a holistic way so that they can become self-sustaining. Each girl has an individualized program to help her achieve her goals and dreams.
Girls Rescue Home Our newest program, this is a ministry to Congolese refugee women and their children who were sex-trafficked across the border to Uganda and have become prostitutes due to desperate circumstances. Many of them were child soldiers in Congo & left to escape. We rescue their daughters from sexual abuse & exploitation into a loving home and work with the mothers to help them get out of the sex industry.
