We believe that God has the answers to all of life's questions. Therefore, all our programs are guided by Biblical values.

 

We also believe that Spiritual transformation and reconciliation with God is paramount to any visible transformation in the lives of the girls.

 

We disciple the girls to help them rebuild their faith in their quest of finding their identity in God.

 

Each girl is assigned a discipler. The discipler builds a relationship with their disciple and provides guidance on all aspects of life under the authority of scripture.

​

Sports create a safe space for healing and transformation. Sporting activities improve the girls' physical fitness, mental and emotional wellbeing, and social interaction.

 

Sport empowers. It builds the girls' self-esteem, courage, and self-efficacy. It fosters their leadership skills, participation, engagement, and self-awareness. The skills are vital in their everyday lives.

 

Our program also sharpens the girls' sporting abilities which can be turned into sporting careers. 

 

Due to COVID-19, our sports program has been put on hold to curb the spread of the virus.

Our interactions with the community lead us to identify needy teenage girls in need of tuition fees. We finance their education through our scholarship programs. 

 

Unlike most scholarship programs that are merit-based, we acknowledge the effects of trauma in the lives of these girls and avail scholarship opportunities to all who desire to study and pursue professional careers.

Poverty and rape are among the leading causes of teenage pregnancies. Most of the girls are sexually exploited by their families through prostitution to contribute to the family income.

 

Through our economic empowerment programs, teenage mothers and girls who head households find healthier and non-exploitative ways of earning a decent living.

 

The girls learn vocational skills, which make them financially independent in the long run.

 Many girls in informal settlements have gone through traumatic experiences. Domestic violence and rape in homes are rampant. The ordeals affect the psycho-social development of these girls making them vulnerable to exploitation.

 

Through this program, we provide ongoing and consistent psycho-social care and support through counseling and informal education. 

Ubani Trust values family. We understand the impact of the family unit on a child's wellbeing. We are also aware of the effects of toxic families on these teenage girls. 

 

Our family intervention program gives us an opportunity to influence the girls' families. We not only encourage families to support their children but also work with them against the sexual exploitation of girls. 

 

Many families condone sexual exploitation in informal settlements.

However, we are cognizant of the fact that some girls have been pushed into prostitution by their own parents.

 

We intervene on behalf of the girls by engaging with their families to bring reconciliation through counseling and enlightenment on alternative sources of income.
