With their desire to break out of poverty, Ayak villagers in Northern Uganda - Gulu organised themselves into a local Cultural troupe to earn income. The group also engages in pottery which has substantially contributed to their household income.
We are still amazed at what this initiative has done to the Ayak community and most especially what the members have been able to do with their income. Some members have improved their lives in ways we can't imagine. Many have gone on to diversify their income by purchasing cows and goats which has greatly improved their household income. Some members have been able to take their children to school, bought motorcycles and others have been able to refurbish their houses. There has also been social cohesion in families since women are earning income.
We are grateful to our donors for the support you have extended to the Ayak dancing troupe. The better uniforms and shoes bought have provided the group with a better competitive advantage in the community which in turn has increased their income.
Thank you for your support and if you can, please continue donating to our cause! Otherwise we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 2023.
