We're glad to share the work of a new collaborator at Pond Foundation - the Anyim Wa project organized by Denis Opio! The Anyim Wa Community Initiative (AWCI) is dedicated to transforming the lives of women and youth in Northern Uganda by addressing poverty, inequality, and environmental challenges through innovative programs rooted in empowerment, mentorship, and sustainability. Their main activities include:
1. Livelihood and Enterprise Development: AWCI trains women and youth in hands-on income-generating skills such as tailoring, soap-making, and regenerative agriculture, while also equipping them with entrepreneurial knowledge to start and grow sustainable businesses.
2. Transformative Leadership and Mentorship: AWCI fosters leadership skills, critical thinking, and personal growth through coaching and mentorship programs, empowering participants to become confident change-makers in their communities.
3. Climate Coaching and Advocacy: AWCI integrates climate resilience training into its programs, inspiring women and youth to lead local environmental conservation efforts and promote sustainable solutions at the grassroots level. Anyim Wa will be joining us as a Hilary's Kids partner in an effort to more effectively raise funds for the project moving forward! Please reach out to us or to Denis should this resonate with you.
