LIFESKILLS PROJECT

Support to empower Kibagare resident's and help them acquire skills that influence them economically.

Lifeskills Project

The Lifeskills Project is dedicated to empowering parents and residents of Kibagare with essential skills to enhance their economic well-being. This initiative focuses on Tailoring and Detergent Making, equipping community members with practical skills to achieve self-sufficiency.

Tailoring

Launched in 2019, the Tailoring program began with just 10 female learners and spans a year, featuring both morning and evening sessions. The first class graduated last year, marking a significant milestone, and we are excited to continue impacting many more lives through this program.

Detergent Making

The Detergent Making training aims to equip participants with the skills needed to create a variety of cleaning products. This initiative started with the parents of children at St. Martin's School, where community members collaborate during group meetings to gather the necessary materials. Participants learn to make liquid soap, bleaching detergents, bar soap, and fabric softener, which they distribute among themselves and sell. This has not only encouraged members to start their own small businesses but has also enhanced their entrepreneurial skills and knowledge.
By promoting self-reliance and fostering growth, the Lifeskills Project is a vital step toward transforming the economic landscape of Kibagare.
