“Nalwanga, a 22-year-old single mom living in Kampala’s urban slum. Life hasn’t been easy – she dropped out of school at 16, had to care for her baby alone, and struggled to make ends meet. But Nalwanga’s story is about to take a dramatic turn, thanks to the Kyazinam Foundation. This incredible organization is equipping vulnerable women like Nalwanga with tailoring skills and financial literacy, transforming households and futures.
Through the Kyazinam’s programs, Nalwanga has discovered a hidden talent for fashion design. With every stitch, she’s gaining confidence and independence. “I can now provide for my child and even employ other women,” she beams.”
Kyazinam Foundation’s vision is to have not just one Nalwanga but as many as possible in Uganda, where 39% of women live below the poverty line, initiatives like ours are crucial.
The statistics are stark: 1 in 4 Ugandan women experience domestic violence, often linked to economic dependence. But economic empowerment changes everything. With financial literacy and skills training, many Nalwangas can break free from poverty and abuse. Kyazinam Foundation’s work is vital, especially in communities where women’s rights are often overlooked.
The Nalwanga kind of transformation would be the beginning. As these women grow their businesses, they would inspire others in the communities to do the same.
Join Kyazinam Foundation in empowering women. Donate, volunteer, or spread the word – every action helps. Let’s stitch together a brighter future for Uganda’s most vulnerable women.
