On behalf of the Urban Refugees team, we are thrilled to report that the Uganda Incubation Program is officially underway! With this project, our team is partnering with a group of Sudanese refugee women, who lead a community-based organization called the Sudanese Women for Peace and Development Association (SWPDA), which supports hundreds of Sudanese refugee women and children in Kampala.
Earlier in the summer, we were pleased to meet a representative from Global Giving, who traveled to Kampala to visit the site of our project, learn more about Urban Refugees incubations, and meet some of the SWPDA leaders.
Today, we are in the needs assessment phase of our collaboration, which is critical to help us design and tailor our agenda and upcoming training sessions according to the specific needs of the SWPDA community. The members of SWPDA are very excited about the incubation and have shown a great deal of commitment and dedication to the program. In particular, they are looking forward to gaining skills in fundraising, communication, and computer skills. The project is being led by our Project Manager, Jessica. (She is pictured above with some of the Sudanese refugee leaders we'll be wokring with.)
We are also pleased to report that the incubation project will expand at the end of September to include another organization led by South Sudanese refugees. We look forward to updating you as both of these projects continue to unfold.
As always, on behalf of the Urban Refugees team, thank you to each of our donors for your continued support of our work.
