Africa Development Promise

At ADP, we've adapted as the needs of local communities have changed!

When we started supporting women in Gayaza in Uganda, the community was rural, with most families relying on small plots of farmland for their subsistence. However overtime, Gayaza's story has shifted, turning into a peri-urban hub. Women began seeking new opportunities. In order to help them achieve long-term success, we launched a vocational sewing program.

Since then, these programs have evolved into community-driven business models designed to generate income and reduce reliance on external funding. In addition to tailoring there are computer literacy training courses and our Microbusiness Development Program!

This is the power of being connected with local communities and advocating for their needs 💪 This is how you empower communities of strong women!

Happy International Womens Day 🧡

When women come together to support one another, the change they enable and inspire is unimaginable! ADP has formed a strong community of over 2,500 ambitious women across Rwanda and Uganda dedicated to bettering their lives and creating positive change for those around them.

Change doesn’t happen alone. It happens when communities come together. 💪 Help be part of the community that supports women-led progress through her progress, and her community's progress, is our promise: https://www.coloradogives.org/story/Aictnf
