CHALLENGE

This initiative aims to enhance the self-confidence of refugee women through comprehensive capacity-building programs, mentorship, and coaching. The project will deliver training sessions covering entrepreneurship, bookkeeping, and financial management, coupled with providing capital support for 1000 refugee women to establish small businesses. These endeavors are designed to uplift families from the precarious edge of hunger, disease, lack of education, and the persistent cycle of extreme poverty. By empowering 1000 women refugees to launch successful enterprises, generating sufficient monthly revenue, the project envisions lifting them and their children out of destitution, fostering improvements in nutrition, education, and overall health for a significantly transformed future.

SOLUTION

 

Our initiative, Project HER (Hygiene, Empowerment, and Respect), is dedicated to furnishing comprehensive sanitary kits to young refugee women and girls in Uganda, ensuring equitable access to essential menstrual hygiene products and championing their health, dignity, and overall well-being. The campaign addresses the unique challenges faced by this vulnerable demographic, aiming to empower them and enhance their quality of life. The provided kits will include high-quality sanitary pads for a safe and comfortable menstrual experience, soap, and body wash for maintaining personal hygiene, as well as disposable or reusable underwear. Informational pamphlets and guides on menstrual hygiene management will accompany the kits, supplemented by workshops and training sessions focused on menstrual health and hygiene practices. These sessions will be conducted in the local language, and educational materials will be distributed to further support understanding. Our goal is to create a sustainable solution to period poverty through Project HER, fostering a supportive community that uplifts and empowers young girls to achieve their full potential. By donating to this campaign, individuals can make a meaningful impact on the lives of these girls, contributing to a more equitable and just society. Every donation, regardless of size, counts towards providing a sanitary kit and making a positive difference in a girl’s life.

LONG TERM IMPACT

 

By empowering 1000 refugee women to establish sustainable enterprises, the project aims to create a lasting positive ripple effect on various aspects of their lives. The economic empowerment achieved through small businesses is expected to lead to improved financial stability for these women and their families. This, in turn, can contribute to better nutrition, increased access to education for their children, enhanced health conditions, and an overall upliftment from the cycle of extreme poverty. Beyond immediate economic gains, the initiative seeks to foster a sense of self-efficacy, confidence, and resilience among the refugee women, potentially influencing broader community dynamics and contributing to a more resilient and empowered refugee population in the long run.
