The volunteer will have the possibility to work with 5 different women groups that have to do craft and art work as well as blacksmithing to earn income for sustaining their families. In this region of Uganda, there has been increased resilience regarding the financial issues and gender based violence is a major issue due to cultural practices and gender imbalances.
Uganda Pioneers´ Association (UPA) is an indigenous youth voluntary Non-Government Organization (NGO) registered with the National NGO Bureau in Uganda, under ref No. S5914/114. The organization focuses on offering youths with the opportunity to contribute to community development by involving them in community projects through workcamps and international volunteer exchanges. The organisation is Not-for-Profit and does not represent any political, religious or sectarian motives.
UPA was started in 1989 by a group of young Ugandans with the aim of promote community based development, intercultural co-operation, mutual understanding and youth participation through voluntary work. UPA is authorized by the National NGO Bureau to operate nation-wide.
It’s a member based organization that reaches the local communities through its eight (8) branches distributed in the various parts of Uganda; (Central branch, UPACT, Kikooba, Gulu, Apac, Arua, Terego and Pakwach) in 6 districts and with numerous local partnerships.
The Women groups in Pakwach and Arua where the volunteer will work are directly managed by the UPA branches. They do have various income generating activities since they have varying skills and potential. However, their main concern in the recent past has been lack of proper coordination and the possibility to research for markets beyond their localities. Such a challenge is rooted from the fact that they do not have the means, knowledge and skills to produce good quality products that can favourably compete in the existing markets. It is there fore on such a note that UPA sought for the current potential of EU AID Volunteer programme to enable these communities do better in their activities.
The tasks of the volunteer are :
The group has several income generating activities as a group. They used to have a businessman who bought their products and marketed them, but he stopped buying and now the group has skills and capacity, but no market. Group is also saving regularly once in a week as a group.
Their products are: oil of simsim, moringa tree, soya, to grow vegetables, aloe vera, lemon grass, shea oil, neem oil, soya products, moringa products, hibiscus products, lemon juice, bee wax products f.e. candles and cream.
The volunteer should help with marketing, branding and practical skills on how to improve the processes of making different products and how to improve the quality of products.
Sumaya and Namstar women groups Sumaya group was established in 1984 and Namstar group grew out of Sumaya group. The women are Muslims and have very good relationships in groups.
The main activities of the groups are: beads, mats, sheets, swaters, food baskets, drums and dances, promoting Numbian culture. Saving on weekly basis, money is used in case of the health issues of the members and to bury the people who have no relatives. Also weekly cleaning of the town, renting out plates and cups.
The group would need help with marketing the products and fundraising for the yearly trip to Mombasa in Kenya, where they represent their Numbian culture.
Mubogo women group :
The group mostly works on farming (sorghum) and renting out mats and plates and cups. Due to the poor rainy season, farming activities have not been very profitable. Group is interested in how to establish irrigation system to avoid the influence of poor rainy season next year and they would like to get new ideas for farming and income generating activities.
