2 Decades of
Hope, Care, and Transformation

Wakisa Ministries is a Christian-based crisis pregnancy center in Uganda dedicated to supporting teenage girls facing unplanned pregnancies. Many of the young mothers who come to us have been abandoned by their families, forced to leave school, or experienced abuse.

We provide a safe and nurturing shelter where they can find immediate care, medical support, and compassionate counseling. Over the past 20 years, more than 19,000 girls have found hope, safety, and the tools to rebuild their lives through Wakisa’s programs.

Why we exist

Young girls suffer trauma and rejection as a result of pregnancy. Uganda has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates (25%) in sub-Saharan Africa. Every year, thousands of girls are forced to leave school, face social rejection, and navigate motherhood alone, often without any form of support.

At Wakisa Ministries, we intervene at this critical juncture to prevent lifelong cycles of poverty, trauma, and exclusion. We believe every girl deserves a second chance to be safe, supported, and seen for her potential.
