The women of the rural community we serve in southeastern Uganda have been gifted with very resilient, hard-working and determined spirits. However they lack two important ingredients in putting these gifts into action: capital and training. Seizing on the potential we see in these amazing women, we're equipping them with training and basic supplies to start small craft businesses. 

They're making beautifully crafted, in-demand products such as wicker baskets, sleeping mats and brooms. A gift of just $79 can commission one of these women into a profitable business, empowering her with the ability to supplement her family's income. More importantly, by assisting in the launch of her new business, we give her the gift of self-confidence and fulfillment in utilizing her talent and ability. 

Although successful, the program is severely hindered by lack of adequate training space and proper equipment. So earlier this year a vision unfolded to provide them with more adequate space and equipment. The construction project for the new training center was begun in August but without a roof and finishings, the existing work is at risk of structural decay as the rainy season approaches. In fact there are already some repairs that will need to be made from exposure to rainstorms we experienced in November.

Thus we're in urgent need of $18,500 to complete the craft business center for these widows and impoverished women [donate toward this fund]. This figure includes machinery and supplies our students need to enhance their training and launch more effective businesses; an amazing cost-to-impact ratio that will continue to empower women for years to come!
