In Uganda, where 69% of households obtain their livelihood from subsistence farming, the agricultural sector is an important component of gross domestic product, and a major source of employment in addition to being the country’s primary source of food.WISE helps smallholder farmers improve their productivity and diversify their income streams.
WISE complements government efforts of increasing access to health by working with VHTs (Village health teams) and TBAs(Traditional Birth Attendants) by conducting a series of empowerment trainings for them in the areas of promoting good hygiene and sanitation, record keeping and report writing.
This organization has a number of programs to empower young girls to participate more in their communities, one of them being the Adolescent Girls Training Program. This program includes both girls and boys and focuses on building young girls’ aptitudes for individual empowerment and social survival. WISE empowerment trainings confront gender inequality to help young girls to advocate for themselves and to build their self-esteem.
Often the children we support face difficulties or challenges, either individually or with their families. Our team of social workers will follow up and offer support and advice to try and resolve any issues being faced.
