Rooted Wisdom Africa in Uganda

Partner Since: 2026
2026 Grant Amount: $8,000

WE funds rooted Wisdom Africa’s work in rural, south-central Uganda that empowers families to overcome the constraints of poverty and champions girls’ and women’s education. A WE seed grant of $8,000 will support their pilot Stitching Futures Program to provide women and girls with vocational training in sewing and business skills so they can earn income by producing items that will also meet local needs (e.g., reusable sanitary pads, school uniforms, and mosquito nets). The pilot will target three different groups of girls and women to understand where the program can create the greatest impact and to see whether out-of-school girls will return to school if they are invested in and provided the opportunity.
