Young Women's Training & Skilliing

The Rose Namayanja Foundation is proud to announce the success of our Young Women’s Training and Skilling project in partnership with the Uganda Industrial Research Institute. This project was designed to empower and provide job opportunities to young people, particularly young women, in the rapidly-evolving field of advanced textile and garment production.

Over the course of this project, 30 young women were given the opportunity to receive comprehensive training in this field, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in their chosen careers. The response from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the chance to learn new skills and better their prospects for the future.

This project is just one example of the many initiatives undertaken by the Rose Namayanja Foundation to empower and uplift the youth of Uganda. We are committed to providing support and opportunities for young people to reach their full potential, and we look forward to continuing this important work in the coming years.

    A ray of Hope in amidst darkness
    Shadia is 17years old. She lives with both her paternal grandpa (94) and grandma (64) Katikamu Community. She goes to St. Kizito Secondary School and she is in senior three.

    Sadia’s Plight
    At the age of 9 Shadia’ father died in a motor accident, leaving her and her young sister with their mom in a rented house. Their mom couldn’t look after both of them since she had no job. That’s how she ended up in her grandpas’ care.
    After primary seven, Shadia lost all the hope of going to school again because her family had lost most of their sources of income during 2020/2021 total lockdown due to CCOVID 19 pandemic.

    A ray of hope amidst darkness
    “I was scared of dropping out of school!”
    “I was worried of getting married at an early age just like all the girls in the community who drop out of school!” Shadia said
    “I am grateful to my sponsors” (Rose Namayanja Foundation) “I can now dream again!.” I am studying to become a doctor, so that I give treatment to sick people especially, the elderly like my grandparents!” Shadia narrates
