Economic Empowerment Program;
Unemployment of marginalized individuals remains one of the key issues faced by minority groups in Uganda. Through this program, the organization mobilizes and empowers community marginalized groups and individuals particularly the youth by providing them with Practical skills, knowledge and appropriate information regarding employment and social entrepreneurship and developing their personal and professional skills in relation to the labor market.

To realize this, the organization conducts a series of community workshops and trainings on respect and protection of their human rights and freedoms.
