Some of our recent trainees preparing for their graduation ceremony at Namasuba College of Commerce in October. A year ago these women either had no work or had low paid casual work such as taking in washing or selling vegetables on the street. After successfully completing their course in fashion and design all the women have a professional qualification and are already starting to set up their own businesses.

On International Women’s Day we would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the past 21 years. Through our training programmes we have been empowering women in Africa disadvantaged through HIV/AIDs by helping them to support themselves and their families.

So proud to be sharing this post. Our dear friend is launching her first solo album in Camden this weekend. Hugely talented Eve and her creative circle are wonderful ambassadors for cross cultural music, and in particular for Greek Greek/Cypriot inspired tones fused with other musical genres. Eve had supported our little WOMA - - since it began back in 2005 and performed with her musical partner at many of our gigs. Sunday will be an extraordinary life affirming gathering showcasing Wonderful talent so please spread the word. Debs would be so proud of you Evie !! Some of you will recall Eve from Donna & Kebab days !

15 women sponsored by WOMA this year are coming to the end of the their six month training programme at Namasuba College of Commerce. After successfully completing the course the women are able to sit practical and theory exams which will give them a recognised vocational qualification from the Directorate of Industrial Training in Uganda. The students will have to wait until March for the results, but we wish them every success as they start to set up their own businesses.
