Marafiki United Green Youths Initiative Limited

With support from the Grant, the Girls for Girls project empowered adolescent girls and young feminists in Kawempe from April to November 2024. The initiative provided 10 girls with hands-on training in tailoring and creative fashion, equipping them with sustainable livelihood skills while also boosting their self-confidence and personal growth. Through this initiative, six of the trainees have launched small income-generating activities, and two have gained employment through a partnership with Kwera Uganda Limited. One trainee, Nabukalu Rahmah, has since emerged as a youth leader of Keti Falawo, further demonstrating the project’s transformative impact.

The initiative has created a safe space for peer support, opened dialogues on leadership, gender based violence, and also nurtured a growing network of young change-makers who are committed to building a more equitable community. Building on the momentum from the 2024 initiative, the team envisions scaling the program by establishing a Girls Creative Hub, which will be a space for alumni to continue learning, innovating, and training others.
