Motherhood is already a complex journey—but imagine facing it in a prison cell, without family, support, or even diapers. For many incarcerated women in Uganda, raising a baby in prison means battling stigma, trauma, and deep emotional isolation.
At Hope for Prison Babies Initiative Uganda, we understand that healing and transformation begin with supporting the mother-child bond. Our parenting education programs teach incarcerated mothers how to nurture, stimulate, and care for their children—even under the constraints of prison life.
Through counseling, life skills training, and peer group sessions, these women find strength, learn practical caregiving skills, and begin to rebuild hope for life after release. As one mother shared, “For the first time, I feel like I can be a real parent—even here.”
Our work doesn’t stop at the prison gates. We also support mothers post-release, helping them reintegrate into society and reconnect with their children in healthy, lasting ways.
❤️ When we invest in incarcerated mothers, we’re not just changing one life—we’re reshaping generations.
Support us in empowering mothers to break cycles of incarceration and raise children with dignity.
