Marianne Foundation is Growing!!!

    The previous boarding location, within Ibanda town, could no longer suit the growing needs of the organization. Therefore, we have begun construction on a new location!


    Features of the new location include a larger girls dorm, an expanded skilling center, a women’s tea room, accommodations for international volunteers, a craft shop, water and electricity connections, and staff offices. 


    We are grateful to all of our partners thus far who have helped make this dream a reality, but we are not done yet!


    The Marianne Foundation needs $10,000 more to complete the project - $5,000 to complete the main structure and $5,000 to finish the girls dorm! 


    If you are interested in supporting the Marianne Foundation and the empowerment of women, please donate using our safe, secure donation link so that the money goes directly to the Foundation:

    Rwamwanja Settlement Skills Training

    Amid one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time, refugee camps have become

    overcrowded faster than ever. For those displaced inside these camps, concerns like the spread of

    disease, access to basic needs and survival consume daily life. With unprecedented post

    COVID-19 challenges,  refugees require urgent comprehensive programs to enhance their

    livelihoods.


    Being a women or young girl in a refugee camp exacerbates these concerns. Reports documented by several human rights commissions and multilateral organizations have proved it time and again. Challenges of early marriage, unemployment and water and sanitation in the temporary roofed shelters can make daily life a struggle.  


    Marianne Foundation focuses on teenagers living within the Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement under our Women's Skills Center program. We empower them with skills such as tailoring and garment cutting, making crafts etc. These skilling initiatives are are supported with sewing machines as method to start self-employment. We hope to expand this project once resources are available.

    Support us today so we can continue to grow our community partnerships and expand our programming!
