Do you know that 380 million women and girls leave in poverty? As we open this year we recommit our selves to supporting women and girls to effectively participate in development of their individual self and families with dignity.
We achieved much together last year through providing 968 micro loans, business skills and self reliance training.
Women contribute enormously to the global economy yet often lack access to resources and capital. women in Uganda are denied rights to land, loans and credit and access to economic resources.
We must prioritise women's economic empowerment in order to end extreme poverty.
Help us reach out to more women and support more families it is possible we can change lives through small actions
Thank you- Volunteer Action Network Team

“Empowerment happens in many forms when I was confined at home with out meeting other women it was hard for me to share challenge and learn from my peers, I was leaving a difficult life my children would miss out school because I was not earning and my husband could not support everything. When I joined the group trained and started a small business my hole life changed- Now I own a phone which I use to talk to my customers and family members this if a form of Empowerment that many can’t express” - Says Jesca

VAC-NET has invested in building the capacity of women farmers in Northern Uganda providing them access to financial, technical resources and advisory services to enable them tap into the many available and profitable opportunities in the agricultural value chain. We are proud of the outcomes; we have reached 4,142 women belonging to 128 groups. These women have been equipped with entrepreneurship and business management skills that form a foundation for building sustainable businesses. As a result, incomes of the women have increased by about 80% since the start of the program; savings have increased by 84.5% and women’s groups have been linked to market off-takers, agro-input dealers and financial institutions. The groups have also witnessed an increased positive attitude towards the women’s role in family and business.
Majority of women supported by VAC-NET have shifted their attention from subsistence agriculture to agro business ;many now own large farms individually or in a group, creating employment, local and vibrant food economies, expanding markets into neighboring countries, and helping to reduce scarcity and hunger.
All thes achievements are beacuse of your generous contribution enabling resilience and sustainability for many families.
Moving forward, we need your continued support. please consider your gift to our efforts, ensuring the fight for equality, didginity, and justice coninues. You can help us to multiply this impact with your generous donation.
