HandyWomen Training Workshop
Understanding the traditional knowledge of crafts is very important for women entrepreneurs who are passionate about being creative, innovative and reaching new heights in their businesses.
The training was facilitated by Ms. Paula Namusitwa who sensitized the women on traditional knowledge and some extra special nuggets on IP (Intellectual Property Rights).
Handy Women Skills School Center partnered with ILaED. ORG (International Lawyers And Economists For Development) and KCCA Employment Service Bureau for the November training in crafts which was a success.
HandyWomen Mentoring Workshop
Ms. Cissy Nagawa skilled the women on the basic crafting of a mat and ordinary basket aka kikapu from palm leaves and banana fibre.
​This was extremely fun for the women because they understood very well that even though some of them have an 8am to 5pm job, they can do this on the side and earn an extra income.
BATIK ENTREPRISE SKILLS PROJECT
Our goal is to empower Ugandan women to launch and grow their own businesses. As part of the Batik‑Enterprise Skills Project, we provide the tools, materials, and legal knowledge they need to thrive. These women are incredibly creative and determined, yet often lack access to opportunity.
Through this initiative, we host two-day workshops offering:
-
Hands-on training in batik production techniques
-
Essential business skills—from budgeting and marketing to pricing strategies
-
An understanding of their legal rights relating to their enterprise
Armed with these skills and support, participants gain the ability to transform their talents into sustainable income and lasting independence—for themselves, their families, and their communities.
