$8 to Annah Mukazimana (Below) victim of domestic violence, for her to stay at Shelter Mi Safe House for two months

She says: “I am aged 38 years originally from Kayanza Province in Burindi. In 2015 I got married to Ssembejja Asuman, an army officer in the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces. My husband died in 2021 of injuries suffered in an accident on duty. After the burial ceremony, I went to stay with my in-laws in Kikondo parish, Kiringente subcounty, Mpigi district. The government of Uganda undertook to compensate the family for the death of my husband which arose in the course of duty. The compensation was paid in early March 2022 through my account. My father in-law instructed me to withdraw all the monies paid and deposit the same to his mobile money account, which I did. Two days after the transaction, my father in-law gave me an equivalent of US$30 as transport to go back to Burundi. When I told him that the money was not enough, the in-laws forced me out of their house. Being a foreigner, I sort help from a nearby Police Post, in the Family and Child protection unit where an officer referred me to ShelterMi Safehouse for accommodation and food as they looked into my case. Currently, I cannot cater for myself. My daughter and two sons are with my in-laws. It is because of this that I am seeking funding for shelter, food and legal assistance at ShelterMi SafeHouse Uganda.

She is a known traditional witchdoctor. Our husband is 57 years, a coffee farmer. We have been living peaceful despite the differences in age. My co-wife used to treat me as her daughter. In July this year, we had a family meeting. My husband told me that as a family, we had to make sacrifices to appease the spirits of our ancestors for our prosperity. The ceremony was to be done by my co-wife. Traditional rituals would be performed on our elder son, who was to take over the family shrine. I accepted to participate in the ceremony since no physical harm would be done to the child.

After the ceremony, my co-wife started feeding my son with concoctions which would make him unconscious and do abnormal things. This made us quarrel every day. She would call her relatives to join her in the assault. Whenever I complained to our husband, he would support her. One day, I stood up to her bullying.

I used to wash clothes for families in our neighborhood and fry doughnuts in the evening to supplement the family income. Initially, we would make some savings from the income, however when my husband started drinking he would take all the money. The landlady chased us from her house when we failed to pay the monthly rent. Subsequently, we moved into a slum area where the rent was low. Unfortunately, Okello lost the car washing job due to alcoholism and absenteeism. I took the responsibility of caring for both of us. The heavy drinking led to verbal and physical abuse. In August, he beat me seriously and kicked my stomach. I collapsed and woke up at Mpigi government hospital. I was told that my womb had been so badly affected the child could not survive.

November Expenses

$17 to Namuga Pricilla to stay at ShelterMi Safe House for one month

She says: “I am aged 43 years old. In 2001 I met Jakana Richard who was then a Captain in the Uganda Peoples’ Defense Forces (UPDF). I left school for him. After completing their mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we relocated to Kampala. In 2004, I gave birth to our first born son, and the second born in 2006. He was then transferred to Mubende military training school. In 2010, he was transferred back to Mbuya military headquarters and later on to Mogadishu, Somalia as a commander. Richard was a loving husband and a father to our children.

In 2020, when I went to visit my two sons, I was told by the Headmaster that Richard had picked up the children from school. I did not know that Richard had come back from Mogadishu. I called his cell-phone number but the number was no longer listed. My appeal to his superiors to locate him proved fruitless. He abandoned our marriage and I was instructed to vacate the military house since I was deemed not to be his wife. I had no money and I had to live in a refugee camp. A friend encouraged me to go to SheterMi Safehouse to seek shelter assistance and counseling.”
