Through the generosity of individual donors, partnerships with like-minded organizations, and small grants, we’ve been able to sustain our work in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement. Community-driven efforts, volunteer contributions, and grassroots fundraising have played a crucial role in supporting our mission.
Despite financial challenges, our resilience—and the continued support of compassionate individuals and partners—has allowed us to keep empowering refugee women in Uganda.
