HAIRDRESSING AND SEWING
Over the next two years girls aged between 15 -25 from Ntungamo will benefit from our Skills Development Initiative and in particular, the Free sewing lessons for girls not in education or employment or training (NEETS). This is an annual course to enable girls to learn the basics of sewing and fashion design. The main objective is to give the girls an opportunity to gain skills that they can use to create their own employment or work for someone else and get a salary.
The reason we focus on girls is because we believe that the, lack income contributes to rural to urban migration and consequently to cross border migration for women and girls without skills the outcomes can be tragic as reported in several Ugandan papers earlier this year.
