$6 for ShelterMi Safe House for Dora Nalwonga from: Mpigi. She says:

My name is Dora Nalwonga, aged 30 years. I got married in 2017 and have two children, 2 and 4 years old. My matrimonial home was in Katende parish, Kiringenti sub-county, North Mawokota county, Mpigi district.

In April 2021, I joined a women’s group known as Mothers Living with HIV, which runs a project for rearing chicken in Katende. After three months, I received 50 broilers to rear, sale and pay back the value to the group. In August 2021, I sold off the stock for US$ 561, and paid back US$ 50 to the group having incurred US$ 200 on feeds and medication. The profit of US$ 301 was to enable me to buy more chicken and give another member of the group to rear, sale and pay back; however, this did not happen.

My husband insisted that since he had paid my bride price, he was entitled to the money and everything that I would work for. My request to invest the money in the chicken project was declined. He insisted on buying a second-hand motorcycle with the money to use it as a taxi. I refused to give him the money.

At around mid-day on the 15th August, 2021, my husband came back home drunk, and pushed me into the frying pan where I was cooking buns to sell. I fell face first into the hot oil, and was rescued by neighbor who heard me screaming. I was admitted and later discharged to continue treatment from home. Upon reaching home, I found another woman with her child. All my clothes had been burned. I learned that my children were staying with my mother-in-law. My husband chased me from the home, bought the motorcycle and married the woman.

It is in this background that I am seeking funding for medication, meals, accommodation and personal effects at the ShelterMi Uganda for one month.

Duration for shelter: 2½ months

$15 for ShelterMi (Safe House) for Kisakye Babra, From: Maya, Wakiso district. She says:

My name is Kisakye Babra, aged 45 years. I got married in 2010 and have no child. My matrimonial home was in Maya trading centre, Maya sub-county, Nsangi county, Wakiso district.

In 2012, my husband started a bar and restaurant business, at the Trading centre along Kampala-Masaka road. Out of the business, we managed to buy land and build one room residential houses. Both the bar and restaurant business and the residential houses were registered in his names. Although his family members wanted him to marry a young lady to produce him children, he refused.

In October this year, my husband sustained fatal injuries from a road accident which he succumb to. He was on his way back from a business trip in Busia, Kenya where he had gone to establish an Agribusiness dealing in grains. He was buried at his parents’ home in Kayunga district. After the burial, my in-laws, came and chased me from our matrimonial since I had no child and took over the business and the residential houses. Our marriage was not registered under the any law and therefore I cannot claim any property we acquired during our stay together except on equitable grounds.

It is in this background that I am seeking funding for meals, accommodation, medication for High Blood Pressure, clothes and sanitary requirements as a woman at the ShelterMi Uganda.

$10 for ShelterMi (Safe House) for Nansasi Gorret from Nakabiso village, Kavule-Katende parish, Mawookota North County, Mpigi district, Uganda. She says:

I am Nansasi Gorret, aged 36 years old, residing at Nakabiso. I have been married to Tumwebaze Ivan aged 30 years for the last five years. We have two children, one from my first marriage and two for Ivan, the last born died due to umbilici code strangulation in November 12, 2021.

My husband was a motor vehicle mechanic, operating a garage in Katwe, along Kampala-Masaka highway. We opened a fast-food restaurant at Kavule Trading Centre. However, the Covid 19 restrictions imposed by the Ministry of Health, adversely affected both my husband’s work and the restaurant the business. He lost the garage due to accumulated unpaid debts for motor vehicle spare parts supplied, and returned home. Ivan soon begun to drink the local alcoholic brew, waragi, and became abuse and violent whenever I failed to give him food.

At 8 months of pregnancy, whenever I declined to offer him sex, he would abuse and beat me; accusing me of infidelity and vowing to kill the baby. I reported the matter to the Village Women Councilor who took me to the ShelterMi Safe House.

I am seeking funding to cater for accommodation, meals, treatment and medication.

At age 22, my grandmother married me off to Al Haji Kilya Arafat as his fifth wife. I gave birth to two sons Isma and Yusuf, who Haji loved very much as the only sons he had.

The first four wives were always bitter and vowed to do whatever possible to kill my sons. Unfortunately, my husband died of heart complications on May 2022 after Covid 19 complications. After the burial, my co-wives ganged against me and threw me out of the house that Haji had built for and my children. They claimed Haji was too old to produce and the two sons were of a Kenyan truck driver.

Despite several pleas from the Sheikh who conducted our marriage, the family declined to offer us any assistance. My co-wives incited the local community to treat me as a mad woman. I have nowhere to seek refugee except ShelterMi SafeHouse.

Two years later, we had our first child and a second one, after three years, both girls. Gideon was transferred to teach in a school in Kampala city from Mbale 5 years later. He would come home in vacation and life was good. We were a happy family. In January 2021, while travelling back to Kampala to resume work after the Christmas holidays, the bus he was traveling in, was involved in an accident. He succumbed to the severe injuries sustained in the accident after 8 months. I could not raise the money for his surgery which was to be done in a hospital in Nairobi, Kenya.

In March 2022, I met Egessa Simon Peter who had also lost his wife and was looking for a partner. I left Mbale district and moved to stay with him in Kampala. He told me he was a businessman, selling second-hand clothes. Initially, he loved my children as a father; however, later he would shout and verbally abuse them even when I am around. Peter loved to take potent local liquor. Whenever he was intoxicated, he would assault me before the children. The assaults became physical.

In June, he beat me so bad that I had to be admitted to the hospital for one week. The local council women representative intervened and he was counseled. Thereafter, he promised to change and stop drinking liquor. He left home for a month without telling me where he was going. Upon coming back, the beatings resumed. He came back home from work drunk, beat and raped me before my daughters and chased us from his house. That night I slept with my daughters at the offices of the Local council and later referred to ShelterMi SafeHouse by the women’s representative to seek accommodation and food.”

$11 for Alweny Esther from Tororo district, Eastern Uganda to stay at ShelterMi Safe House

She says: “I am 37 years old. In 2016, I meet Joseph Chombo and we got married the following year. We moved to South Africa where Joseph got a job as a mason. In the same year I gave birth to a baby boy Paul. Joseph met some friends who introduced him to hard drugs. He later introduced me to the same; cocaine and heroin. My child died due to negligence. I did not realize the harm these drugs had on my child. In 2021, I was arrested and deported back to Uganda. When my family and relatives learned that I was deported, none of them wanted to accommodate me. I resorted to prostitution. I met a fellow addict who accepted to be with me as his wife. Whenever he did not have any drugs, he would beat me to go and look for money and buy the drugs. In July 2022, he beat me so seriously that I was admitted for one week in the hospital. During the counseling and guidance session, a nurse referred me to the ShelterMi SafeHouse. When I was discharged from the hospital, I went to the SafeHouse where I was welcomed after screening.I am seeking funding for my accommodation and food. I believe that my life will change for the better.”
