What is Project Ujima?

Project Ujima is a community program that helps victims of violence and provides services at Children’s Wisconsin, your home, and the community.

Project Ujima works to stop the cycle of violence through crisis intervention and case management, social and emotional support, youth development and mentoring, mental health, and medical services.

Project Ujima is a voluntary program working with both youth and adult victims of violence and there is no cost for the services.

Those participating in the program are less likely to be re-victimized. Other successes include:

• Better medical outcomes after injury
• Increased confidence and self-esteem
• Connection to peers and others who understand the effects of violence
• Improved school, youth and family relationships
