Christine's Workshop
I am very proud of my work.
When she bought a sewing machine, Christine’s life slowly began to change. After fleeing violence in the North, completing a course, and setting up her workspace, she began to work as a tailor making elaborate dresses for her neighbors and tote bags for Project Have Hope. Her work gives her money for necessities, but this is only the beginning – Christine plans to diversify her business and open a tailoring school to teach others her trade.
A donation of just $25 provides tuition for one term and gives a woman the power to build her own future.

A Way to a Better Life

![Thanks!]()
Thanks!
Vocational training has been the cornerstone for the work of Project Have Hope. PHH believes that adequate skills training and development is necessary to expand the income generating potential of its members. Since our inception of this program, 47 aspiring women have benefited from these educational grants and life changing opportunity. Studies have included tailoring, knitting, catering, hairstyling and salon management, computer skills training and driver’s education.
More significant than just these training programs, are the interest-free loans the women are able to receive upon completion of their choice of study. To date, 121 loans have been given.
We know that progress and long-term change does not happen overnight. That is why, 9.5 years since we first began, we continue to vigorously work to establish sustainable solutions for the women in the Acholi Quarter.
We encourage you to continue this journey with us. A donation of just $25 provides tuition for one term and gives a woman the power to build her own future.

Extending Vocational Training to Our Youth
By Karen Sparacio | Project Leader
![Solomon]()
Solomon
We have seen how providing vocational training skills can change lives and build dreams for the Ugandan women we serve. Building on this success, we have started to provide vocational training for our young adults. Some of the children we have sponsored in school are not academically gifted and are seeking a more hands-on approach to securing a financially independent livelihood. This February, we have expanded our vocational training program to give these young adults new opportunities.
Solomon, 21, lives with his elderly and uneducated aunt. He was orphaned by the war in Northern Uganda. He completed his studies up to secondary four, but realizes that he cannot continue academically. He has chosen to study an electrical engineering course which will last for one year. Like his aunt, he is strong, hard-working and refuses to give up.
Thanks to your support, we are able to provide him with this life-changing, dream-building opportunity.
