Brendah grew up in a rural part of southwestern Uganda where poverty was high and there was significant loss due to HIV/AIDS. As a survivor of trauma and gender-based violence herself, Brendah developed a passion for helping others heal, and pursued education and career opportunities that allowed her to support other survivors.

Brendah has a BA in Social Work and Social Administration from Bishop Stuart University. She has worked at the Sanga Town Council as a Community Development Officer and worked with survivors of sexual violence as a case management coordinator, training facilitator, and country coordinator at Mutera Global Healing, formerly known as EDJA Foundation.
