Women and Girls Empowerment Project

The aim is to transform the livelihoods of these poor women through education, economic empowerment and entrepreneurship. You will be working with and helping women and Girls aged between 13 and 35 to become economically self-sufficient, providing them with the space, skills and support to develop their business ideas.
You can lead workshops in business skills, financial literacy, people management and customer care.
You will be combining this Women and Girls Volunteering Project in Uganda with other activities, like visiting local schools, public speaking with youth and children and mentorship sessions in the local communities.

You will be involved in a variety of interesting activities to help the women and girls in the community. These include:

• running girl’s awareness and reflection workshops on subjects such as: menstruation Hygiene Management, early pregnancy, safety, girl’s rights and sexual health
• running women’s awareness and reflection sessions on subjects such as: women’s rights, safety, self-esteem and making a living
• farming activities with girls and women sports activities with girls.
• teaching adult literacy for beginner and advanced students
• Volunteer(s) will be working with girls, single mother and women who are living in extremely poor home and communities.
• Setting up some small-scale businesses under that foundation that help bring more income to the foundation as we also receive donation from well-wishers.

We work Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm although sometimes it depends on what needs to be accomplished.
Typical working days start with staff meeting to review the tasks at hand including following up on the unfinished ones and planning for the next.
Then everyone will get to work on their assigned tasks including those going to the field or attend external meetings.
