EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS
Teenage Pregnancy Needs
Teenage pregnancy is very common in Uganda. Many issues contribute to teenage pregnancy. Most common is rape. But, sometimes the hunger is so bad, sex will be exchanged for something to eat.
The 2020 National survey on violence revealed that over the last 45 years, more than half of the girls had experienced childhood sexual abuse.
Many victims either don't realize they have been raped due to lack of education or the men threaten the victim with death if they report the rape.
Child Abuse
This Is Hope receives many requests to help children who have been victims of abuse. This would include rape, burns or other wounds. We provide medical care for these children.
