Impact
The community facilitators do a wonderful job of meeting the women in fellowship to encourage and monitor their progress.
Improved involvement in businesses; fishmongers, bodaboda business, dealing in general merchandise or food stuffs.
Increased confidence-they are able to communicate in public now and some have become civic leaders.
Love and support for one another
The Revolving fund has enabled low cost loans. The profits gained have enabled women to educate their children to degree level in some cases.
Improved savings culture.
Improved household sanitation, smartness and good buildings.
Some of the husbands testify that their wives are helping their families so much using resources from AWU.
The women are prayerful and meeting attendances have improved.

John spent a morning with the Mairkumi Women's group, sharing The Word.
The Atuhere Women's group in Lhuhwahwa look so happy receiving a loan from the Revolving Fund.
Sarah, one of our amazing community facilitators is meeting with a Womens group in Bwera
to share the word, encourage the women and monitor their progress.
Looking after a women's group involves a lot of travelling, checking books, collecting loan repayments, listening and responding to challenges and need, joining in fellowship and praying for and with these women.
We would like to increase their small payments they receive to show how much they are valued and to come in line with the Ugandan minimum payment for volunteers.
The team rely on these community facilitators to see all the groups weekly.
