Young women with disabilities doing well
By Faridah Nabbanja | Executive Director
![]()
With the great support you give to young women with disabilities, two received sewing machines. They started thier small businesses and they are doing well. We had a monitoring visit to check on how they are progressing and we found out that they were moving on well.
One gave birth to a pre-mature baby but is able to buy milk for her four months baby despite the limited care from her spouse. She has plans of extending her business and get more customers. She is happy despite the challenges she has such as limited capital, taking care of a pre-mature baby among others.
The other one is also doing well. She has tried to put more capital in her business from the profits she makes.
We believe we can support more girls to lead independent lives.
We still have more who need skills training and start up kits to be like the ones we have supported so far
We are requesting that you support us more.
We love and treasure you

Read about Stella our role model
By Faridah Nabbanja | Executive Director
![]()
Her name is Angella (not real name) a woman with partial visual impairment, a young mother of two girls. MPWDA with funding from our friends on GlobalGiving skilled her with tailoring. After gaining the skill, we bought for her a sewing machine and gave her start up capital of USD 25. She for the first months stayed with her trainer. Later she rented her own house which she partioned for residential and business. She now makes all kinds of sized clothes including for children and adults. She is loved and respected in the community and this has enabled her gain many customers. She got the idea of expanding from only tailoring and added some already made clothes. She plans to have a big boutique and continue with her tailoring as well. She is a role model to other girls in the community. She plans to live an independent life where she is able to contribute to her life needs including supporting her two daughters for education. She joined a saving group in her community where she saves some money gained from her business.
Her vision after expanding financially is to form a big boutique with tailoring serivces. She is lacking funds to buy dammies, clothes and also partitioning her shop to look attractive.
We believe that with continous support, Angella will be a role model not only to young women with disabilties but to able bodied young women as well.
MPWDA is very greaful for the support from our dear friends. We want to see Stella achieve her dream and also support others to be like her.
Thank you so much for continously supporting young women with disabilities
We love you

GOOD AND PROMISING RESULTS
By Faridah Nabbanja | Executive Director
Our dear Readers, Stella one of the young women who was given a sewing machine has promising results. She was trained and later started her own business. She has been getting customers including schools that give her contracts for making school uniforms.
Stellla had been dropped by her spouse and she was suffering with her daugther but when the spouse realised that she was doing well, he also returned to support the two.
She is living a good life and not regretting. She used to think that the man had left her and her daugther because of the visual impairment. She has proved to her community that there is ability in disability.
We hope to support more girls but limited funds is our biggest challenge.
We kindly request that you continue supporting us.
We love you
