Tabitha M. Kaguri, who is working toward a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology at Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Chicago has founded a nonprofit organization that’s competing for a Waislitz Global Citizen Award. Her organization, EDJA Foundation, works to combat sexual violence and domestic abuse in sub-Saharan Africa by providing free medical, legal and counseling services to survivors—some as young as 4 years old.
The Waislitz Global Citizen Awards are annual cash prizes totaling $200,000—and voting is open to choose winners at: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/programs/waislitz-award/
There is a grand prize of $100,000 and two semi-finalist prizes of $50,000. The awards, presented by Alex Waislitz and Global Citizen, recognize the excellence of individuals in their work to end extreme poverty.
Kaguri explains that she’s not only the founder of the nonprofit, she’s also a survivor herself. She was motivated to start the organization so that another generation would not suffer in silence. IF her organization wins the award, she plans to build more rape crisis centers to assist women and girls coping HIV in addition to the trauma of rape.
Tabitha M. Kaguri, who is working toward a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University is looking for votes to help her organization earn a $100,000 Global Citizen Award.
Voting has already gotten Kaguri’s nonprofit, the EDJA Foundation, into the top ten nominees to earn the award money.
EDJA combats sexual violence and domestic abuse in Sub-Saharan Africa. It provides free medical, legal, and counseling services to survivors, some of whom are as young as four years old.

As a clinician, it is important to “walk the walk” in terms of cultural competence in clinical practice and teaching. General themes of this panel will include finding a balance of lighting a fire under ourselves (as individual students/faculty/professionals), our institution, and our field. We will also discuss creating necessary spaces for difficult dialogues, supporting ourselves and each other, and affirming that our field holds essential keys to addressing the complexity of cultural competence. Students will be encouraged, but not required, to participate.
Scott Pytluk, PhD, ABPP is a Professor at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Chicago (ISPP).
Rahul Sharma, PsyD, is an Assistant Professor and the coordinator of the Diversity concentration at ISPP.
