The Centre for Women and Children’s Reintegration (CEWOCHR) is an organization established in 2018 to address the challenges faced by girls, women and their children born outside of marriage in Uganda. These children and women often experience marginalization and discrimination from both their families and society. CEWOCHR's work focuses on preventing and responding to these challenges through awareness campaigns, advocacy for sexual reproductive health rights, identity rights and economic rights, family tracing and reunion, legal aid services and economic empowerment. The organization is dedicated to empowering these women and children to overcome discrimination and reclaim their rights.

By working together with partners, we aim to make lasting changes that improve their lives.
Our aim is to promote emotional and psychological recovery for young girls/women and their CBOM, especially those who have experienced family separation. We provide support for family tracing and reunion, and engage in conflict resolution and mediation to facilitate their reintegration with their families.
