With partnership from Hope Seeds Inc, Day3Seeds and the Lutheran Church of Uganda, over 120 women in Ibanda district were trained in vegetable growing, value addition and nutrition! Many seeds were freely distributed and we are grateful to the partners who paid for these seeds.
Marianne Foundation was hired by Solid Rock Consulting to carry out a skills training in Isingiro and Ibanda Districts, funded by ACTS For Water. Marianne Foundation conducted a needs assessment in each community, and soon will be conducting skilling workshops in soap making, brick making, and reusable pad making. All beneficiaries will also participant in our entrepreneurship training.
In July 2022, Marianne Foundation partnered with Kagiira Farm in Ibanda to conduct a day long training event inviting women from all VSLA groups to participate in training in piggery, poultry, and strawberry farming. Over 500 women participated!
Our public health consultants, Clare Killian and Carly Cote, facilitated a week long workshop in program management, monitoring and evaluation utilizing reflexive participation education, whereby the students utilized Marianne Foundation program areas to apply course concepts. All participants were awarded certificates of completion upon the end of the course.
We aim to provide this course on an annual or semi annual basis so stay tuned for any upcoming courses!
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.
