For many young women in rural Uganda, having a skill is not enough—opportunity is often what’s missing.
Talented and determined, many have learned tailoring but lack the basic tools and resources to turn their skills into income. Without sewing machines, fabrics, and start-up support, their potential remains untapped, and financial independence stays out of reach.
Through this GlobalGiving project, Development Alert is working to change that reality by supporting 100 young female tailors with the tools and resources needed to start and grow their own businesses.
With your support, we are providing sewing machines, start-up fabrics, and mentorship—transforming skills into sustainable livelihoods.
Impact So Far
- Young women equipped with tools to start tailoring businesses
- Increased income and financial independence
- Improved confidence and self-reliance
- Strengthened local economies through small enterprises
Each tailor supported represents a life transformed and a family empowered.
The Need Now
While progress has begun, many young women are still waiting for this opportunity. Without support, their skills remain unused and their futures uncertain.
Call to Action
We invite you to join us in empowering these 100 young women.

- Help a young woman start her own business
- Create sustainable income and lasting change
