Label: Purpose & Activities

Our purpose is to create job opportunities for disadvantaged girls and women.

We were the recipients of the URI Bowes Award this year from Africa. This greatly boosted our activities. We have been able to carry out home based care and food supplements for HIV/AIDS patients in our community. We have also supported orphaned children with scholastic materials. We were also able to train our members in business management skills so that they start small scale projects of their own. We continue to entertain the community through our cultural dancing skills and sometimes the government also contracts us to dance for prominent events in the country. This year one of our performances was for the World Cup Trophy Tour to Uganda. We also participate in community events including cleaning and digging to have safe roads.

Our dream is to empower girls and young women who are disadvantaged to uplift their social and economic standards.
