We equip youth and women with the skills they need to thrive.
To build sustainable and resilient societies, we recognize the need for collaboration across various sectors, bringing together diverse expertise to drive meaningful and lasting change.
Why Youth and Women ?
Women bare most of the domestic work and are engaged in many small low paid or even non paid commercial and non-commercial activities. Women also take a big responsibility in raising children and the youth in our societies. Equipping them with the necessary knowledge, and extra skills strengthens their daily activities and increase their economic potential.
The youth – These are the future generation. Today in Uganda for example, the young generation accounts for 60% of the population. Impacting them positively and engaging them in pertinent issues of entrepreneurship, environment, agriculture and education is an investment for creating responsible citizens.
