Description of the project

Planned in May 2012 and opened in September 2013 in the presence of local authorities and the Italian Ambassador in Uganda, His Excellency Stefano Dejak, the house is equipped with a solar photovoltaic system and can accommodate up to 24 women and their relatives in four different rooms. A staff of three people supervise the home, with duties covering 7/7days and 24/24 hours.
