Story:
NationWares has partnered with a Ugandan NGO called Love International Women’s Group in several areas of Uganda. These women have faced difficult pasts full of abuse, neglect, and extreme poverty. Many are responsible for large families, or have experienced a death in the family due to HIV/AIDS and have become the primary care-takers for their families. These women are responsible for earning the household income to provide the basic necessities. They have been greatly impacted by finding successful income and a safe working space through NationWares. The ladies share a dream to open a convenience store in their local village to continually help women who are in desperate need of support and employment. |
