Gloria Nakitende, seen here delivering finished mats, has been trained by SeWa in crafts work. She is a high-school graduate, who is now working in the weaving project. She hopes to one day save enough money to attend the University.  Molly Nabuuma, a HIV mother and widow, engages in making baskets from banana fibers, raffia, and sisal material. Molly and the three other women pictured make gift, fruit, and decorative baskets for a living. 
Kabengwa Harriet and her daughter follow in her fathers’ tradition of using local materials to make photo frames, seed beads, key holders, etc. They both train other women, girls, and boys in an effort to keep them occupied and out of trouble. The money made from the crafts is used for the children’s school fees. 
Annet is among the ladies who were trained and now employed by the SeWA weaving project. She joins the hand woven cloths to make shirts and shorts for kids and adults. She now displays a finished kids top. 
Hakim crafts leather shoes by hand, decorating them with beads.
