Over 50 sponsored students have graduated from school.Healthcare: We provide contributions for nurses' salaries and medicines at an adjacent community clinic. This clinic provides essential medical services to over 5,000 individuals across five villages. Community Support: We manage a home-building project which will benefit up to 40 women in the Jinja area.Income-Generation: Our program focuses on training Ugandan women in two community-based groups in business and farming skills to help them establish small-scale businesses or cash crop farming ventures. We also sell fair trade crafts in the U.S. which provides additional funds to the women making the products and helps fund the additional community level projects.Our integrated approach since our founding in 2007 ensures comprehensive support for education, health, and economic empowerment in the regions we serve. We are funded primarily by individual and business contributions and a few small grants. We welcome inquiries from all who are interested in helping us in our mission!
