This training is intended to provide these adolescent girls and women with skills of managing their meagre finances and making productive business plans in order to uplift the level of their economic status and reduce vulnerability in them.
High rate of vulnerability among women and out of schools girls in the rural districts of northern Uganda, There is limited participation of women and girls in socio-economic activities, resulting into low standard of living which is affecting the well being of the people in the area.
