Sauda is among the group of 5 refugee women and girls at Boroli Refugee Settlement in Adjumani that have been equipped with craft skills and is now using her skills to earn income at the comfort of her home.
''Now I am able to make bags and other jewelry products like arm bangles, neckleces and Earings which i sell within my home. It has enabled me to get money which i now use to supplement my diet and also meet other needs of my children. I now have hope that i will live for many more years'', Said Sauda.
Voice for Humanity Uganda is committed to supporting women and children living with chronic illnesses including HIV/AIDs become economically self reliant and able to meet their diatery and other needs. We provide non formal skills and start up kits to these category of persons so that they can use those skills to earn their own income at the comfort of their homes.
Our programs also focus on providing Psychosocial support besides the skills and start up kits so that our beneficiaries live healthy and dignified lives free from stigma, psychological trauma and hopelessnes. By putting our beneficiaries into groups, they are developing social networks and local support groups that further employer them to live healthy.
