What it is about:

Uganda has taken in over 1.5 million refugees, many of whom are women struggling with trauma, poverty and health problems. The ‘Mothers in Need’ project is aimed at young mothers, women of childbearing age and women with disabilities. In cooperation with the organisation TPO, 35 women's groups are supported, in which the participants receive psychosocial support, health courses and help in developing their own income opportunities. The aim is to empower the women, improve their living conditions and enable them to lead a self-determined life.
