Our Story
CERU, originally established in 2007 to support expectant school girls aged 10-17 who were abandoned by their families due to stigma, expanded its focus over time. It facilitated the return of these girls to school while offering foster care for their babies. However, the women providing foster care faced intimate partner violence, family and domestic violence.
As a response, CERU broadened its scope to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls (VAWG). It collaborates with formal and informal structures, supports foster mothers and girls, and holds community forums on VAWG accountability.
In 2017, CERU became a registered non-government organization (NGO) in Uganda, operating in one district and expanding nationally in 2021. CERU prioritizes advocacy, transformative, responsive and social norm change strategies to empower and promote the dignity and well-being of women and girls, especially in Uganda.

CERU Model
Our model is committed to fostering empowerment, confidence, and leadership among girls and women, facilitating their pursuit of their dreams and aspirations. We prioritize the cultivation of supportive relationships, recognizing that collective strength arises from individual empowerment.
Through our program, girls and women acquire the essential support and skills necessary to navigate their paths with resilience and determination. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of inclusivity and collaboration in our approach. We recognize that societal transformation requires the involvement of everyone, regardless of gender. Thus, we actively engage with individuals of all genders, communities, governmental bodies, and civil society organizations. By fostering dialogue and cooperation among diverse stakeholders, we strive to create a more equitable and supportive environment for women and girls to thrive. Ethically, we uphold the principles of equality, respect, and dignity for all individuals involved in our program. We prioritize the voices and agency of girls and women, ensuring that their perspectives and experiences guide our initiatives.
Additionally, we are committed to addressing systemic barriers and promoting intersectional approaches that acknowledge and address the unique challenges faced by marginalized communities. In summary, our strengthened and ethical model empowers girls and women to pursue their dreams while fostering a supportive community of change makers. Through inclusive collaboration and a commitment to equity, we endeavor to create a future where every girl and woman can thrive and contribute to a more just and equitable society.
