Give Us Wings is always looking for ways to participate in initiatives that expand educational opportunities for girls in eastern Uganda. Our recent collaboration with Girls Not Brides, a global partnership to end child marriage and teenage pregnancy, is one such effort.

Our partner cooperative KOMCOS has been especially successful in growing groundnuts (similar to peanuts here in the U.S.) and they came to us with a business plan to capitalize on that crop.

Give Us Wings has launched a new economic development program: Community Youth Skilling. This program gives young women who have had to drop out of traditional schooling for one reason or another the opportunity to learn a viable business skill.

2024 was a year of growth. This annual report reflects the momentum we are building. Take a moment to join us in celebrating these 2024 achievements!

For years, St. John’s Kayoro Health Center (SJKHC) has provided quality health care services to people living in rural eastern Uganda. But one thing was lacking: reliable and effective transportation in the case of emergencies.
