The challenges facing Busia's women are staggering: Three quarters of them are living with HIV and AIDS. However these same women are Uganda's greatest untapped resource, and they hold the key to improving the nation's economic and health outlook. Thus our approach is to help these women help themselves by making world class competitive products that can be marketed worldwide and the proceeds used in elevating the women's lives. Studies have shown that when women and girls earn income, they reinvest 90 percent of it into their families, compared to only 30 to 40 percent among male wage earners.
Busia Africa Crafts therefore is committed helping and empowering vulnerable women who act as heads of households. That said, your purchase from our store will go a long way in helping a life.
