About Uganda
Famed as the 'Pearl of Africa' for its stunning natural beauty and cultural diversity, Uganda boasts stunning natural features such as Lake Victoria and the Rwenzori Mountains. Despite its beauty, Uganda faces significant socio-economic challenges, including poverty, gender inequality, and limited access to education and healthcare. Political instability and human rights concerns further complicate the situation. Kampala, the capital, is a vibrant city that reflects cultural heritage and modernity, yet it grapples with urban challenges such as congestion and inadequate infrastructure. Uganda's cultural diversity is a hallmark of the nation, with numerous ethnic groups contributing to its rich traditions and languages.
Our focus in Uganda
In Uganda, we collaborate with COWA, focusing on empowering women and youth in urban areas, particularly in Kampala. Our initiatives include vocational training and technological empowerment programs designed to address the socio-economic disparities faced by these groups. By enhancing their skills and providing access to essential resources, we aim to improve their employment opportunities and economic independence. Our approach is tailored to promote gender equality and support sustainable development, ensuring that women and youth can overcome the challenges of poverty and limited access to education.

Limited access to vocational education and technological resources is a challenge faced by women and youth in Kampala, Uganda, because of socio-economic disparities, gender inequality, and insufficient educational infrastructure. This results in decreased employment opportunities and economic independence for these groups, exacerbating poverty and limiting societal progress. It creates a need for targeted vocational training programs and technological empowerment initiatives that address these disparities, promoting gender equality and enabling sustainable development.
