EMPOWER

Equipping, Mentoring and Providing Opportunities for Women in Entrepreneurship.

The program

We believe in empowering women, especially single moms, to become self-sufficient, confident individuals and community leaders. We help vulnerable women receive the skills required to break out of the poverty cycle — and encourage gathering together for fellowship, friendship, Bible study and support.

Classes currently offered include sewing and tailoring — including reusable sanitary pad making — soap making, and business seminars, based in the rural area of Kyamasongi Village near Fort Portal.

Growing new skills

Agricultural training

We believe practical training is important, so we offer sessions on small-space gardening and sustainable growing. Women learn ways to grow food vertically and make the most of limited space to help feed their families.
