From August 13th-17th,
2012, your support provided fifty-eight Nyaka grandmothers the opportunity to
attend the Kutamba Grannies Workshop. The conference was attended by 3
representatives from each of the 19 granny groups in the Nyakishenyi and
Buyanja sub-countries.
Through the program
our grannies were trained on various topics to allow them to grow as individuals
and take back their new knowledge to their hometown groups. One of our
grannies, Hope, says she learned “some good leadership skills and challenges,
the role of grandmothers, caring about children with HIV/AIDS, parenting
skills, food and nutrition, managing finance.”

In their
testimonials, grandmothers requested more programming like the Kutamba
Workshop. What if you could double
your impact today?
What if instead
of training 52 grannies with your support, you could train 104?

Dorah, tells us
“I request the initiators to keep on giving us these refresher courses, at
least per year. More trainings are needed for the rest of the grandmothers.”

With your
support grannies like Hope and Dorah can continue to receive training so they
can connect with other grannies and learn the skills necessary to help care for
their grandchildren. On average, each granny supports up to seven children and currently you provide support for nearly
7,000 grandmothers in southwest Uganda.
