Each home will have interior plumbing, an indoor kitchen and space outside for a small garden. We will build the homes in phases of 10 to 12 homes per phase as funds are available. How Can You Help Women Become Homeowners? Purchase an ornament and help Margaret own a home. Volunteer to be on our home ownership team to help provide guidance for this project. We need many varied skills such as construction, business, legal, fund raising, solar and more. Donations of any amount are always welcome! Volunteer to be a Home Captain. Home captains can be an individual, group or business who will commit to raising $6,000 of one home\u2019s total estimated cost of $12,000. And so, we need 10 Home Captains for each project phase of the Uganda women\u2019s home ownership program. Working with Women, Children and Their Communities When Outreach Uganda first begins work with community groups, we require that the interested women (or men) form themselves into a CBO (community-based organization) grou. This is the Ugandan equivalent of a localized nonprofit organization. This allows the group to develop its leadership and to become responsible for the group\u2019s activities and development. Outreach Uganda provides marketing for each beader group\u2019s craft products so that the group begins to have a regular source of income both for the individual beaders within the group and for the group itself. We place bead orders every two to six weeks depending on the season of the year. The group\u2019s paper beaded jewelry items are their most popular craft products. In addition, they make many beautiful cloth items out of African batik and kitenge material. Please support our women by shopping in our\u00a0online store. Or you could\u00a0host a bead party\u00a0for your friends! The more beads we sell, the more groups and the more ladies we can help! The Jinja Women\u2019s Group in their\u00a0Festive Uniforms They Bought and Made Themselves Focus on Sustainability and Income-Generation Outreach Uganda\u2019s mission is to help empower our women\u2019s groups\u00a0 and their communities to improve all aspects of their lives so that they can overcome poverty. Sustainable income-generation projects are a key focus of these efforts. We encourage women who make fair trade crafts to save money from their craft sales. They can use these monies to provide funds for emergencies. Equally important, they can use their savings to start individual businesses that they can do all year long. Micro-credit loans from their group\u2019s internal revolving loan fund provide additional help. These loans can help a group member to start or expand her business. Empowerment Work with Community Groups in Rural Northern Uganda In rural northern Uganda, income-generation activities focus on the raising of cash crops both individually, and with groups of women.\u00a0 We also work with groups of men. In the village where our third women\u2019s group is located, we work with the entire community. In addition, we partner with the community on expanding its parent supported primary and nursery school, and on helping its local health center. This clinic serves the entire parish of five villages, almost 6000 people. Even the men are becoming involved through forming their own men\u2019s CBO group. The group targets cash crop and organic farming. Soon, it hopes to begin beekeeping.
