What We Do

Our programmes reach women, youth, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and vulnerable members of the community across Busia County.

Economic Empowerment

A women's economic empowerment programme delivered through table banking groups, where members pool savings and access affordable credit to start and grow micro-enterprises. Members receive practical training in financial literacy, small business management, and record-keeping, building lasting economic independence for themselves and their households.

GBV and Children's Rights Advocacy

A community advocacy programme that raises awareness of gender-based violence, works with local leaders to strengthen protection systems for women and children, and supports survivors in accessing legal, medical, and psychosocial services. The programme partners with schools, faith institutions, and government offices to make protection a shared community responsibility.

Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management

A school-outreach programme addressing period poverty and menstrual stigma among school-going girls. The programme provides sanitary products, age-appropriate reproductive health education, and safe spaces for open conversation, ensuring that no girl misses school because of her period and that boys grow up with informed, respectful attitudes.

Mentorship in Schools

A school-based mentorship programme pairing learners in primary and secondary schools with mentors from the community. Through regular guidance sessions, learners receive support in academics, life skills, values formation, and career awareness, helping them navigate adolescence and stay focused on their education.

Smile of Compassion

A community-led giving initiative that mobilises local resources — food, clothing, financial support, and volunteer time — to help families in acute need. Through Smile of Compassion, community members become active participants in supporting their most vulnerable neighbours, keeping dignity at the centre of every act of assistance.

Where we work

Our activities reach communities across Busia County, in Matayos, Nambale, Teso South, Teso North, Samia, and Bunyala.
