Mental Health Support for Street kids in Kisenyi
We recently had the honor to visit Destined Vessels Ministries Uganda in kisenyi. This Christ lead organization supports young people from the streets by educating them about the word of God and navigating ways to assist them to avoid going back to previous lifestyles that are not socially acceptable such as theft. Buzzcut Foundation hopes to step in and offer these youth mental health services such as support groups as well as youth empowerment workshops.
