Young Mother’s & Women’s Empowerment Programs
Our young mother’s and women’s empowerment programs are designed to create stable livelihoods for single mothers through provision of homes and starter capital for income generation activities (seed capital) for mothers around Kampala and Wakiso districts. This project is still in development and will build on the work already done by Peace for Children Africa for children by providing a real home environment with skills training and capital for income generation.
