Empowering women to provide for their families through vocational training and small-business skills.
Women of Hope serves more than 200 women in Kangulumira – most of them AIDS widows – giving them practical skills, business training, and a place to rebuild dignity. Through basket weaving, sewing, and microbusiness coaching, these women are building small enterprises, supporting children, and becoming leaders in their villages. Founded under the Foster Family Network and run locally by Irene Kisolo in partnership with Streams of Mercy, Women of Hope is a community solution that turns vulnerability into sustainable livelihood.
