This project will remove the restrictions and denied rights against women and and will empower disadvantaged women yearly through imparting skill training , capital allocation and Self-help groups, which will help to generate an income for their families and give a better chance of survival.
This project inspires vulnerable women from low-income households to help themselves, and their children, by using their own resources and own initiatives to do things they thought were not possible. Participation in a Self-help group results in women being empowered economically and socially. Benefits include increased household income, increased quantity and quality of food, improved health, increase in children attending school, improved housing.
Millions of rural women in Uganda are trapped in poverty with little access to resources and information, living in a patriarchal tradition that places a lower value on their contribution within the household and often does not allow them to participate in everyday decision-making or make broader life choices. The impact of the AIDS pandemic over the last decade has greatly exacerbated the burden of poverty that women and their families face. Many women are vulnerable with no support.
The Self-help Group (SHG) project will empower over 1000 women socially and economically resulting in 2200 children being cared and provided for, and dozens of communty projects being initiated that assist sick community members and vulnerable women.
