People with Disabilities
The One Stop Business Center is a location for people with disabilities in Masaka District to come and learn a trade, sell their goods and build relationships with other disabled people. The constructed indoor Market and learning place is now a hub for the physically handicap to earn an income and gain a sense of dignity.
Livelihood and Skills Development
Strengthening families’ abilities to build viable agricultural enterprises to secure both food security and Income generation, Skilling the youth and vulnerable women to be able to fulfill their hope, aspirations and create a violence free youth population, Accessing small loans to help in small business start ups.
Maternal Health
Uganda has a high maternal mortality rate and this happens mainly in the rural areas where there is limited access to transport, health care systems and poor antenatal and postnatal care services. We work hand in hand with the Village Health Teams to bring these services closer to the expecting mothers.
How you’re changing lives in Uganda
Maternal Health
Like many other developing countries, Uganda has a high maternal mortality rate and this happens mainly in the rural areas where there is limited access to transport, health care systems, and poor antenatal and postnatal care services. We workhand in hand with the Village Health Teams to bring these services closer to the
expecting mothers.
Agriculture
Agriculture is a core sector of Uganda's economy and the largest employer. Over 80% of women contribute about 75% of agricultural production. Strengthening families’ abilities to build viable agricultural enterprises to fortify both food security and income generation is our top priority for this project.
