In Uganda official reports state that 25% of girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are already mothers or pregnant with their first child.

Years ago before I moved to Uganda the Lord gave me a vision of a house, a young Ugandan girl and the word “Zoe” spoken over this image. I had absolutely no idea what the word Zoe met, so I messaged my boyfriend at the time, now husband, and asked him if he already picked […]
