ujamaafricaltd.orgMaking a referral
- Contact the organization directly via the phone or website listed — call first to confirm current capacity and intake process.
- Do not share sensitive case details until the referral is confirmed appropriate and intake clearance is given.
- For urgent or crisis referrals, GVRC (0800 720 990) and the GBV national hotline (1195) operate 24/7.
- Record referral date, organization name, and contact person for follow-up tracking.
Coordination and data sharing
- Verify each organization's current coverage and capacity before sharing survivor details — this changes.
- Share only what the receiving organization needs for their specific service — least-privilege by default.
- Contact details are correct at time of writing — verify before referral as numbers and websites are updated periodically.
- Track referral outcomes beyond volume — did the survivor actually access the service?
