Stand Up For Women

For every season of life, God's word is our anchor, guiding us with love, strength, and wisdom.

Like the women of the Bible, women in Uganda have much to offer and much is expected from them.

In adulthood, women are still treated as second-class citizens both in the public and private spheres. Traditionally, house work is extremely gendered; wives are expected to care for the children, prepare meals, wash laundry, clean the house, tend to crops and even work outside of the home for additional income.

Our project is designed to empower local women in the community. We have focused the program on women suffering from domestic abuse, widows, single mums or simply women who are just in need!

We have four approaches to women's empowerment:

Empowering Women in Agriculture

Building capacity of the women in agriculture for both household food security and household income by working with women farmer groups. We train them in agriculture education and provide inputs.

Fostering Women's Entrepreneurship

Building entrepreneurship skills among the women and encouraging them to work in groups so as to save and be loanable. We train the women in entrepreneurship skills and encourage group saving.

Spiritual Growth Through Faith

The Bible is our manual for learning our identity and finding our place in this world and the next. So many women struggle with questions about their worth, value and purpose in life. Studying the Word brings clarity.
