There is growing concern, especially among women, over the increasing number of men abandoning their families and leaving women with the full responsibility of caring for and raising children.
This was revealed among more than 100 women our reporter met in Lugonjo-Nakiwogo village in Entebbe, where the women accused their husbands of abandoning them and leaving them with the burden of raising children despite their poor financial conditions.
This situation has left many women emotionally distressed, while others have nearly fallen into depression and hopelessness.
Following the hardships these women have faced in their homes, reports indicate that many are suffering from stress and mental health challenges.
Some spend sleepless nights in tears, making it necessary for someone to counsel and comfort them while also helping them start income-generating activities.
Because of this situation, mental health specialist John Baptist Ssemaganda decided to bring the women together after realizing that many had been abandoned by their husbands and had no jobs.
He formed a support group where, after counseling and encouraging them, he also began teaching them practical skills to help them start small businesses.
It was through this initiative that the non-governmental organization Pnuem African Foundation stepped in to support the women with various items and training opportunities to help them start businesses, including salon equipment, computers, and other resources, according to its founder, Denis Matovu.There is growing concern, especially among women, over the increasing number of men abandoning their families and leaving women with the full responsibility of caring for and raising children.
