Our Current Projects 

Seguku Women’s Association (SeWA) oversees several for-profit economic ventures to enable members to generate revenue and to become financially self-sufficient; improving their futures.  Each of these units is managed and operated by SeWA members and all items are produced by SeWA members.  Support, training, and marketing are provided to the entrepreneurial members through SeWA.

Tailoring and Weaving Unit – the tailoring and weaving unit employs eight full-time members and is the primary source of SeWA revenue.  Profits from this project help SeWA Art and Craft  purchase items and materials for the artisans.

Animal Husbandry Project – SeWA members raise and sell poultry and pigs.

SeWA Art & Craft – Artisans create hand-made crafts for sale locally and online.  Products include artwork, bags, baskets, carvings, ceramics, clothing, drums, figures, jewelry, leather goods, metal items, natural-fiber items, textile items, Uganda souvenirs, wood items, and woven mats.  You can buy these products through the Online Store to help SeWA members improve their lives. These products are decorative and make unique gifts.
