Charity Nakato

Charity Nakato is the Psychosocial Counsellor at Mmengo Centre, supporting clients through the emotional weight that so often accompanies a legal problem. She offers one-on-one and family counselling and runs the centre’s referral pathways for survivors of violence in Kampala, Mpigi and Wakiso.

She holds a Bachelor of Laws from Islamic University in Uganda and is an enrolled advocate of the High Court. She came to JCU from community development work, where she coordinated village-level sensitisation on land rights and child protection.

She also supports the centre’s outreach circuits, taking legal aid services to sub-counties far from the district headquarters.
