Changing Lives through Education in Uganda

Kibale Women's Club

Kibale Women's Club in KanyawaraIn February 2006, we started collaborating with Kibale Women’s Club in Kanyawara. Together we organized adult literacy classes, English classes and sewing classes in Kanyawara village. We hired one person to teach women to write and read in Rutooro (local language) twice a week and English once a week.  In March 2006, we purchased a sewing machine for Kibale Women's Club, and we hired one member to teach other women sewing.

In May 2007, Kibale Women's Club received a second sewing machine from BOTW to start a tailoring business. Volunteer or Donate Now: We need cash donations to ship books and fund our initiatives.Literacy and sewing classes also give women an opportunity to meet and do something together for themselves and for the community, besides learning how to write and read.  Currently the literacy classes take place as part of our library programs.
