Join us for an evening of dancing and cultural celebration as we raise funds to support our empowerment programs for Ugandan women, children, and families.
Why Should We Attend?
Uganda continues to face a humanitarian crisis, the realities of which have only worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdowns disproportionately affect vulnerable groups like women and children, leading to increases in gender-based violence and the elimination of jobs. The pressure guardians face to provide for their children is overwhelming without a sustainable and adequate income source.
When you invest in a woman entrepreneur or sponsor a child in school via Children of Uganda, they emerge with the skills, ideas, optimism, and energy needed to transform an entire family’s well-being.
How We Can Help?
Children of Uganda empowers women and youth with opportunities to build sustainable skills and community networks, so they can break the chains of dependence and the cycle of poverty to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
Our locally-developed Family Empowerment Program (FEP) guides guardians through three core areas to strengthen the foundation of households and improve the welfare of children:
Skills training and economic empowerment via Income Generating Activities (IGAs)
Financial knowledge and accountability through Village Savings & Loan Associations (VSLAs)
Family counseling, community health and wellness
