Northern Uganda Women and Children Support Initiative

Our Projects

A king size hand sewn, hand quilted quilt made with African fabrics. Just one of the many quilts designed by our quilters.

Our African quilts are handmade by women in the villages of Gulu District in northern Uganda. The project was designed to provide women with a skill that would enable them to earn income, thus improving the livelihood of their family.

African Quilts

We provide beekeeping training where trainees receive hands-on training in our apiaries at Hamel Beekeeping Training Centre.
Meet King Kong, our Saanen dairy buck.

The goal of our beekeeping program is to help and assist village bee farmers to improve both the quality and quantity of their honey production. We operate the Gulu Honey Centre in Gulu City where bee farmers can purchase beekeeping equipment and to provide a market for their honey and honey by-products. We also operate the Hamel Beekeeping Training Centre where we provide beekeeping training.

Beekeeping

The goal of this project is to breed good quality dairy bucks with the local female goats. After 2 to 3 generations of breeding the females should be able to produce one to two litres of milk daily. This will provide an additional nutritional food source for families and a potential market.
