This project is dedicated to transforming the lives of 500 vulnerable families each year in Mpigi District, Central Uganda. targeting female-headed households and female sex workers who struggle without access to loans, we provide crucial booster grants of $300. More than just financial aid, we empower these families with quarterly business skills training that equips them for a sustainable future
In the face of a global economic downturn, Uganda grapples with rampant unemployment, especially among women and girls. Many are forced to migrate to urban centers for survival, often resorting to sex work after losing their primary breadwinners-if not due to illness, then to the harsh realities of life. As household poverty tightens its grip, countless children miss out on vital education & healthcare. We will uplift these families, boost their incomes, & combat the pervasive cycle of poverty
We believe that with a little help, these families can reclaim their futures. By providing $300 in targeted booster grants, we set the stage for self-reliance. Our support goes beyond monetary assistance; it includes in-kind contributions tailored to their existing businesses. From livestock and chicken feed for poultry farmers to additional stock for small retailers and clothing for boutique owners, we ensure our support meets their specific needs.
Through our initiative, families are not just recipients of aid; they are becoming empowered agents of change. We have organized them into village groups, fostering a supportive community where they learn essential business management skills. Additionally, we're instilling a culture of savings and low-interest lending within these groups, laying the groundwork for financial independence and resilience
