Empowering Women, Transforming Lives

A letter from our Executive Director, Fortunate:


In the heart of southwestern Uganda, a group of determined women are sewing the fabric of their future. At Margaret & Emma Uganda, we recently launched a Tailoring and Knitting Project aimed at empowering vulnerable women with the skills they need to become self-sufficient and uplift their families from poverty.


Our program currently supports 10 women studying tailoring and 5 women learning the art of knitting. Among these 15 resilient individuals, half are mothers, striving to provide a better life for their children. These women come from challenging backgrounds, but their spirit and determination are unwavering.



Take Darlene, for example. A 17 year old special needs single mother of one, Darlene joined our program to learn tailoring. With each stitch, she not only creates beautiful garments but also weaves hope for her family. Darlene dreams of starting her own tailoring business to support her child's education and ensure he has a brighter future.


Our Tailoring and Knitting Project is not just about teaching skills; it's about transforming lives. By providing these women with vocational training, we are giving them the tools to become financially independent and break the cycle of poverty. The impact of this project extends beyond the individual women; it ripples through their families and the entire community.


However, we can't do this alone. The success of this project depends entirely on the generosity of donors and well-wishers like you. Your support can help us provide the necessary materials, equipment, and resources to continue offering these life-changing opportunities.


With your donation, you will be contributing to:

  • Tailoring and Knitting Equipment: Providing sewing machines, knitting tools, and materials.

  • Educational Resources: Ensuring access to quality training materials and skilled instructors.

  • Sustainable Livelihoods: Empowering women to start their own businesses and achieve financial independence.


Join us in this journey of empowerment and transformation. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of these women and their families. Your contribution, no matter how small, can change a life.


Help us stitch a brighter future, one thread at a time.


Donate now and be a part of this impactful journey.
