OUR PROGRAMS
We support children and Women to reach their full potential!
The African Response Foundation runs a range of programs that are designed to meet the specific needs of vulnerable communities in Africa. . We also have our helpline offices that can be approached at any time.
Women's Empowerment Program:
This program helps women in rural areas of Africa, particularly Uganda, acquire the skills they need to start their own businesses. Through this program, we have helped over 700 women to acquire new skills and start their own businesses, allowing them to take control of their own lives and provide for their families. The program includes literacy and numeracy classes, as well as training in small business management, tailoring, and other skills. We also provide support for women to start their own businesses by providing access to microfinance and business development services. This includes providing them with training on financial management, business planning and marketing, as well as connecting them to potential investors and partners. Additionally, we provide ongoing mentorship and support to help them grow and sustain their businesses.
Gender Equality and Children's Rights Campaigns:
We work to bring about policy changes that will improve the lives of vulnerable communities in rural Uganda. Our campaigns have led to significant policy changes in several countries, ensuring that more children have access to education and that women have greater representation in leadership roles. We also advocate for better protection of children’s rights, including ending child labor and child marriage. Our campaigns are based on a rights-based approach and aim to empower marginalized groups to advocate for their own rights. This includes conducting research, providing training and building the capacity of local communities, government officials and other stakeholders to advocate for policy change.
