COME LISTEN TO THE LIVE SUCCESSFUL STORIES OF WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN BENEFICIARIES OF WOMEN AND FOREST PROJECT.

My name is Patricia Asasira. I am a resident of Kifampa village in Gomba District, a member of the Uganda Women’s Water Initiative (UWWI), and a beneficiary of the Women and Forest project. I am 23 years old and was born and raised in Kifampa, Gomba district. Growing up, I faced many challenges due to having a drunk father who never minded raising his own children. I saw how my mother struggled to make ends meet. As a result, I have never experienced a father’s love. We had one cow at home, and I took an interest in selling milk and raising animals since it was the only means for us to survive as a family.
In 2023, I received a seed grant worth 50 dollars from WEA through the Uganda Women’s Water Initiative. This investment has been the best thing that has ever happened in my entire life.
I obtained a loan from the women’s SAACO and supplemented it with the 50-dollar grant that I received. With that, I bought 2 dairy cows. I sell milk, ghee, and Bongo (Natural Yorghurt), which is a delicacy in Uganda. I have managed to improve the lives of my family members, treat my sick mother, and provide basic needs for my children.

Uganda Women’s Water Initiative (UWWI) , is a women-led organization that was founded to co-create WASH solutions with host communities with the main purpose of turning women from WASH burden bearers to WASH solutions providers through capacity building, Financial Inclusion, and community self-help initiatives.
The organization’s four thematic areas are Biointensive Farming, Environmental Protection and Conservation, Climate Smart Technologies, and Advocacy and Entrepreneurship. These programs are designed by women to alleviate problems for the most at-risk women, for whom the root causes of their day-to-day struggles are complex and cannot be solved with any single point-in-time solution.
