The husband is the traditional breadwinner in the Ugandan family, and if something happens to him, his family is left to suffer. The women's empowerment scheme seeks to teach mothers and widows practical skills, so that they can support their family and keep their family in school. The women are taught to raise and sell pigs for profit, and volunteers are expected to have knowledge of caring for animals and a willingness to build pig pens.
MLm developed also the Hope Handcraft Group to teach the women to make handcrafts as a source of income and empowerment. The women gather weekly to share skills and work on their crafts. The jewelry is made from local materials including seeds, paper and bone, in a painstaking process to create beads of uniform color and design. They are varnished, dried and strung together in unique patterns to create necklaces and earrings. Bags, jewelry boxes and bowls are some of the other items made. Ideally we need volunteers to help in developing a market for these products. A local market is the aim in order to make it a profitable venture. If volunteers could find a gap in the international market this would also be greatly appreciated.
You can donate to support this group of people to start their income generating activities.
SCHOOL OUTREACH
.
Through this ministry, School Outreach has impacted many secondary schools in and around Jinja and Kampala plus those found upcountry. It has of late begun reaching out to tertiary institutions including Universities like Namasagali University, Kyambogo University, FairLand University and Busoga University.
Many students have turned to Christ during these meetings with some quitting drugs and others being set free from sexual immorality. Strong bible fellowships, which have transformed the students' lives, have been set up in these schools. And as a result, the neighboring communities have also been blessed.
