On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and compassion of the women who walk alongside others to bring hope and healing through Tutapona’s programs. Across Uganda, Iraq, and Ukraine, our female staff work tirelessly to support individuals and communities affected by conflict and crisis.

Healthy Habits is Tutapona’s newest program, having run for only the past four years. But in those years, we’ve heard countless stories of transformation, redemption, and ultimately freedom to move on and create new, better things within lives!

The third of August, marks ten years since the start of ISIS attacks in Sinjar, signaling the beginning of its terrorist campaign against the Yazidi population. We want to acknowledge their resilience and the ongoing struggle for healing. The world must continue to support the Yazidi people in their quest for the return of the missing, and for justice. Let this anniversary serve as a reminder of the importance of vigilance against hatred and a commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of all peoples.
