Social Impact Project for Seeking Guidance to Scale Our Impact through Partnerships

How This Works

As part of the TRANSFORM Support Hub, you will learn how to advance your career while getting hands on experience on projects like this one.

Project Description and Impact

At Faces Up Uganda, we equip children, youth, and single mothers with arts and crafts skills to improve their livelihoods and access life-changing opportunities. Through our program, beneficiaries create beautiful handcrafted products, which we market to generate income that supports their education and financial independence.

Now, we’re looking to scale our sales to create an even greater impact—helping 350 single mothers build sustainable livelihoods and funding education for 150 children through the sale of merchandise featuring their artwork.
