Provide Vocational Training for Ugandan Women

Meet Coline. She is 44 years old and supports 9 children; 7 of her own and 2 orphans. She sought refuge in the Acholi Quarter in 1999 to escape the war, during which most of her relatives and fellow villagers were killed by the rebels. Struggling to support her large family, Coline found hope in Project Have Hope's vocational training program.  She completed a beauty salon course and was granted an interest-free loan to set up shop.  She now has a bustling storefront on the main road of the Quarter.  Once unsure of her future, today she has a steady income and hopes to return to the North where she will rebuild her home and can continue her work as an esteemed hairdresser.

Rose is a force to be reckoned with.  A mother of 8, including two young twins, she is always thinking of ways to improve her children’s lives. She fled her homeland in Northern Uganda to keep them safe from violence. Now in the South, Rose’s priority is their education.  She trained as a tailor to better support them and keep them all in school. She instills the value of education in her children.  Despite the challenges they face, her oldest son, Moris, is top in his class and is attending one of the premier secondary schools in Kampala.  Rose is determined to break the cycle of poverty which binds her.  Once she is able to save enough money, she hopes to build a new home closer to their school, so they do not have to travel so far to learn.

As the holiday season approaches, consider giving the gift of empowerment.
