Provide Vocational Training for Ugandan Women

“It was a very great change for me.” Susan recalls of how Project Have Hope transformed her life.

Pursuing a course in tailoring would have been an impossibility without the financial support of Project Have Hope.  Susan has gained both a skill and a confidence that helps her to navigate the future and the challenges that persist. 

Much of Susan’s youth was spent rising before the sun and going to bed long after the moon had risen.  Her day would start at 4am, when she would rise to head to the fields to work.  She’d return home as the sun was setting and begin the time-consuming task of preparing a meal.  Day after day. At 19, a young mother herself, Susan moved to the Acholi Quarter.  There, she labored in the stone quarry, often with her infant baby on her back.

When Project Have Hope began, it was a welcome relief to Susan.  She could work from home with her daughter seated nearby and roll paper into beads.  “It was simple work, easy work,” Susan carefreely recalls.  Not only was the work easy, but she’d earn twice what she earned in the quarry.

Susan later enrolled in a tailoring course through Project Have Hope’s support.  From the beginning, she was thrilled with the opportunity tailoring presented.  “You can expect money any day, any time,” Susan beams.  “If I return to the village, I can bring my tailoring machine and work from there and earn a living.  I can work anywhere.”
