About HOPE OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE

1. Organizational Background Hope of Children and Women Victims of Violence (HOCW) is a Ugandan non-governmental organization founded in 2008 to support women and children affected by violence, displacement, poverty, and exclusion. HOCW was established from lived experience of street homelessness, where women and children were surviving together without protection, dignity, or access to services. This experience shaped HOCW’s core belief: children cannot thrive unless their caregivers are safe, stable, and supported. Today, HOCW operates as a community-based, asset-owning organization delivering integrated services to women, children, and refugee families in urban Kampala. 2. Vision A society where children and women live free from violence, exclusion, and poverty, and where families achieve lasting stability across generations. 3. Mission To restore safety, dignity, and opportunity for women and children affected by violence through an integrated two-generation approach that links protection, early childhood development, health, and economic resilience. 4. Core Values • Dignity first • Children and caregivers together • Safety and protection • Inclusion • Sustainability 5. Two-Generation Program Model HOCW operates through a Two-Generation Pathway that intentionally serves children and care givers together: Safety → Healing → Learning → Earning → Stability This model ensures that: • Children access protection, care, health, and education • Care givers access safety, psychosocial support, skills, and income • Outcomes are measured at both child and caregiver levels 6. Programmatic Pillars Pillar 1: Safety & Protection • Transitional shelter (1 day to 6 months) • Trauma-informed counseling and psychosocial support • Coordination with local government, police, and Ministry of Gender Pillar 2: Inclusive Early Childhood Development (ECD) • Childcare services enabling women’s participation in livelihoods • Kindergarten and phased primary education on HOCW-owned land • Children served: o 0–2 years: 28 o 3–5 years: 69 • Child sponsorship program supporting 134 children (primary to university) Current priority: transforming ECD into a fully inclusive model, particularly for children with disabilities. Pillar 3: Maternal, Infant & Early Childhood Wellbeing Integrated services including: • Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) • Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (MNCH) • Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) • Adolescent-friendly SRH services • Menstrual Health & Hygiene (MHH) • Nutrition, urban farming, and food security • WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Pillar 4: Economic Resilience & Sustainability • Tailoring, hairdressing, ICT, business, catering, soap making, charcoal briquettes, art and craft, language trainings. • Women-led savings groups transitioned into a registered SACCO. • Access to savings and small loans for micro-enterprise development • Asset-based sustainability: HOCW owns land, facilities, farms, and infrastructure
