I spend a lot of time with my church. I like to pray. I also sing with the church. - Agnes Nabirye

I really wanted to upgrade. I didn’t know what CEDOVIP did until I joined. That is when I learned that it fights violence in the home. I liked that the CEDOVIP was protecting women, children, men, boys and girls. When I came I started as security and reception. A lot of people come to me for information. They see CEDOVIP on TV and ask about what we do.

I have achieved many goals with security. It was not easy at first. CEDOVIP’s visitors used to be challenging. Now I do not have problems with visitors. When someone inquires I help. Now when women come in for help, I receive them and contact the people who work inside. If I ever left CEDOVIP, I know I want to help people in the future, especially children and women. That came from working with CEDOVIP.

I joined the police as an officer in 1996, but I didn’t stay very long. I didn’t like working for the government and I didn’t think things were fair. So I left pretty quickly. After that I worked for a local farm, which I thought was a lot more fair. Then I worked for the security organization, Sara Center for 13 years. I was there from 1997 until 2009. Then I joined CEDOVIP.
