2WSDe7e3o.ments The <o!rne/ -ome Between Guly and 5ecember '01#, nine women were successfully reunited with their families. It)s a truly Joyful day for 4adam *oanyuug. 3he is finally being reunited with her family after spending 1? years li&ing in the 8ambaga +utcast 7ome in northern 8hana. +ne of the oldest women li&ing in the camp, she fled to 8ambaga after being accused of bewitching her own son. :4y son got a swollen eye and mentioned that he saw me in his dream, using a knife to pull out his eye. %hen he accused me of being the one responsible, the community supported him and I was banished.; 0fter staying 1# years at 8ambaga, %udama 5agang is also eager to go home. 5escribing how she came to li&e at 8ambaga, %udama says, :4y nephew said he saw me shoot him with a gun in a dream. The following morning I was called before the elders of my &illage and told to go to 8ambaga to pro&e my innocence. I belie&e the boy was influenced by his mother, who ne&er liked me.; The 8ambaga +utcast 7ome is a place of refuge for women who ha&e been branded witches by their family and community. The camp is meant to be a temporary stop on their Journey towards greater acceptance, and e&entually home. In partnership with *resbyterian %orld 3er&ice K 5e&elopment, the 8ambaga 8o 7ome proJect is working to pre&ent future allegations of witchcraft and reintegrate accused women, like *oanyuug and %udama, back into their communities. In order to foster acceptance and pa&e the way for their return, the proJect sensitiBes communities about human rights, mental illness, disabilities and other health issues that are often mistakenly attributed to witchcraft.
