Authentic Masculinity Program - Uganda
This summer, we are raising funds for two important initiatives:
Providing Small Business Grants for Our Cohort Leaders in Uganda
Rather than continuing monthly support indefinitely, we want to empower these leaders with seed funding they can invest into their own businesses and trades. Many already have small enterprises or business ideas but lack the capital needed to grow. A one-time grant can help create sustainable income while allowing them to continue leading and serving their communities. These leaders have faithfully poured into the men in Uganda for years. Now we have an opportunity to invest in them in a way that creates dignity, sustainability, and long-term impact.
Launching a Skills Training Center
We are working to establish a center where men and young adults can receive practical vocational training that leads to sustainable income opportunities and long-term stability for their families. Men who have graduated from our Authentic Masculinity Program are eligible to attend.
Would you consider making a special gift toward this summer initiative?
Every contribution, large or small, helps move us closer to:
♦ Opening the Skills Training Center
♦ Equipping future students with practical skills
♦ Empowering cohort leaders through business grants
♦ Sustaining the impact of the Authentic Masculinity Program in Uganda
If you have traveled with us before, you have likely met some of these men personally. You know their character, their faith, and their commitment to their communities. This is an opportunity to stand beside them once again as they take this next step forward. Your generosity truly makes a lasting difference.
