Targeted Empowerment for Vulnerable Groups
The foundation runs this annual project specifically targeting demographic groups often facing significant barriers to employment and social mobility.
The programme focuses on providing hands-on training to orphans, teenage mothers, and widows in Arua. By mastering tailoring skills, the trainees are given a direct pathway to self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
The hands-on training aims to move beyond basic instruction, offering participants the necessary expertise to establish their own small businesses or secure employment within the burgeoning garment industry.
This direct approach focuses on restoring dignity and providing a sustainable source of income to those in society who are most at risk of marginalisation.
The Mungu Feni Foundation frames its investment in the tailoring project not merely as a charitable activity but as a direct contribution to Uganda’s national development agenda.
The CEO noted that such skilling initiatives are crucial for reducing high rates of unemployment, particularly among the youth and women.

The project directly supports economic growth and industrialisation across the country.
These grassroots efforts cultivate a culture of creativity and productivity, ensuring that local communities are active contributors to the nation’s economic tapestry.
The foundation is effectively training a new generation of micro-entrepreneurs ready to participate formally in the economy.
For the 100 new trainees, the programme represents a significant journey towards a brighter future.
The foundation expects the new cohort to replicate the success of previous participants, using their acquired tailoring skills to establish their own ventures, thereby gaining financial stability and dignity.
