The Need: Podoconiosis (non-filarial elephantiasis) creates a cycle of poverty through physical disability and intense social stigma.
| Beneficiary | Age | Key Challenges | Immediate Priorities |
| Atuhaire Gloria | 32 | Long-term disability (since age 8), social vulnerability, lack of basic necessities. | Medical management, safety/housing, and sustainable livelihood support. |
| Kobusingye Agnes | 39 | Abandonment, loss of employment due to health, extreme poverty (4 children). | Housing stability, medical care, and education scholarships for her children. |
How You Can Help: Our goal is to provide these mothers with more than just a handout. We aim to provide:
1. Health Intervention: materials such as soap salt gum boots to manage and reduce the swelling.
2. Stable Housing: A modest, safe home for Agnes and her four children.
3. Educational Support: Scholarships to ensure their children don’t lose their future to poverty.
4. Dignified Livelihoods: Small business grants to move them from “survival mode” to self-sufficiency.
