Women &youth Empowerment through skilling in Luuka

At the beginning of the new year 2023: the team of Pebac Entrepreneurship for Rural Development reviewed their approaches and consolidated their stand point on the new and innovative skilling of Women and  youth with vigilant vigars in that: in this world of rapid change, young people need the right mixtures of skills to thrive. Access to information is increasing, and memorizing facts is equally important today than in the past. Although academic skills remain important, they need to be sufficient enough to foster thoughtful, productive, and engaging to the citizens. Women and Young people everywhere need to develop a greater breadth of skills to evaluate and apply knowledge in ways that meet the new demands of our changing social and economic landscape. The team of Pebac Entrepreneurship for Rural Development in their review meeting was constituted on the 12/05/2023.

They observed that: skills like communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and flexibility have always been important for work and life. But they are treating it a tool that is even more crucial for future generations; including a rapid advances in technology for transforming the world of work, and by 2030 they estimated that more jobs around the globe can go unfilled due to lack of skills if we fail to plan for today.

They want to be more connected than ever before, because they are aware that: there are complex global challenges such as climate change, abject poverty and health epidemics that are calling for leaders and citizens who are able to collaborate with diverse groups to solve problems. In these series of debates, they used it to spark a global dialogue and engaged in promoting an increase understanding of how to develop the skills and learning that all children need to be successful in their lives and livelihoods.

It has been raining here in Karamoja region and the rest of the other regions in Uganda, we have had the biggest rainfall in two years.  It provided enough water to fill the catchment ponds which hadn’t happened since the beginning of this drought.  Although it’s now been a couple of weeks since the rainfall, all of the surrounding vegetation is still green.  We’re making sure to savour this scenery knowing that that amount of rain will not likely happen again soon; the forecast predicts below average precipitation for the remainder of the year.  Nevertheless, we know that with the help of our maize, sorghum seeds we can keep moving forward with planting food. 

We have long been looking forward to planting maize, sorghum and providing training in more remote communities but the hardships of the recent years made the expansion of our services extremely challenging.  However, we recently scouted locations for future food projects and made encouraging connections with numerous communities as far away as Mountain Moroto in the Far East of Uganda.  Several of these locations have the potential to become highly productive food in that they are unique micro-climates nestled in rainy mountain valleys; like oases surrounded by desert.  Other regions we visited are suffering from debilitating arid conditions where we will focus on designing intense water conservation systems and planting small and productive food for them and their animals because karamoja is a cattle corridor.  We are keen on catering each project to the needs of the people where they live.  Our goal is to begin collaborations before the end of the year.

Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, and everyone at GlobalGiving!  If you would like to provide feedback, learn more about our projects, or if you are interested in volunteering with us, please email us at pebaclimited@gmail.com. There is also an opportunity to leave a note at the end of this report.

Thank you very much. Peninah Project Manager!
