LET'S MAKE THE WORLD BETTER TOGETHER Domestic Violence is not love. It is not care or concern for another person. It is not justified by suggesting that it is evidence of the intensity of how deeply the abuser loves their partner. It is about power and control |

A TIME FOR PAMPERING
For our 2021 trip to Uganda, the Heather Hurley Foundation Team visited the ladies from our project, Mirembe African Village. Our Village currently consists of 15 survivors of domestic violence and their 55 children. These ladies have experienced the most traumatic circumstances that revolve around abuse, including but not limited to, physical violence, food insecurity and homelessness. Through your donations, our ladies and their vulnerable children, have been removed from violent environments and some have even begun their own businesses! |
