About Us
Defending the Orphan, Pleading for the Widow
To “redeem” is to take something that has been lost, broken, stolen, or destroyed and to restore it to everything that it was created to be.
Our Mission
Redeem International exists to protect widows and orphans from violent abuse and exploitation.
Our Story
Juliet Musoke and Jesse Rudy first worked together at International Justice Mission in 2009, leading a pilot program to protect widows and orphans in Central Uganda. The project was incredibly successful, leading to an 80% drop in land theft rates.
With IJM’s support and partnership, Jesse launched Redeem International in early 2020 to replicate and scale the pilot project’s success. Five months later, Juliet joined Redeem to lead our efforts in Uganda.
