FAMILIAL CARE & COMMUNITY RESOURCES

RWANDA ANIMAL SUSTAINABILITY – Project #42.30492
Women in Uganda and Rwanda struggle to find jobs or opportunities for income to support their families.

The Animal Sustainability Project gives women an opportunity to create a sustainable living through small animal care. (The cost per animal is Cow: $325, Goat: $70, Chicken: $15, Pig: $30, Turkey: $35, Duck: $30.)

UGANDA JJAJJA HOUSES – Project #42.30622

Women, and especially grandmothers, are becoming the caretakers for children. Sometimes this is precipitated by the death of parents due to HIV/AIDS and in other cases it is for other reasons. Jjajja means “grandparent” and these small two-room houses help grandparents in Uganda and Rwanda provide for their families while giving them needed protection and security in a social system that does not protect them. ($4200-6000 per house, depending on specifics.)
