Good Bye Slums. Help 40 Uganda Women Build Homes.
Story

Since 2007, our Jinja women's group has diligently learned business skills and used internally generated microloans to build and expand their businesses. They want to escape the Jinja slums and own their homes. Help them achieve their dream. We have purchased land for these homes. Ten ladies each need $1300 to match the $1300 they are saving for a home down payment (2/3 to raise on globalgiving) Ladies who once lived on under $1 per day will escape poverty forever. Good bye slums!

Impact

Once all phases of this project are completed it will affect 40 families with an average of 6 people per household or 240 in all. In most cases, this means that the family will be able to move out of the horrible slum area where they have been living since fleeing the war in northern Uganda in the late 1980s or 1990s and finally have a home of their own. They will continue to expand their businesses so the cash flow can pay their home loan, and to develop solid community living skills.

Challenge

Most of these Ugandan women are Acholis who have experienced the horrors of the northern Ugandan war that lasted for 20 years and chose to flee the war area only to end up trapped in the slums of Jinja, Uganda. They have worked hard at building their businesses these past 7 years but remain entrapped in poverty because land is expensive and they cannot escape the slums where most live. The slums are rampant with theft, disease, filth, discrimination against the Acholis, and hopelessness.
