Core Objectives
- To identify Urban slum youth/single mothers who are sex workers and impress upon them the significance of dignified living and persuade them to take up alternatives and to take such measures so as to equip them in attaining such means of living
- To identify the homeless youth and single mothers and the destitute so as to facilitate their relocation in appropriate institutions
- To provide food and medical aid to the youth and single mothers so as to ensure their social well- being
- To assist in the process of social integration and personal realization for youth and single mother’s children through study scholarships
Membership & Target
As per today, the program boosts a total of 1840 Youths/Single mothers aged between 16-35 years. We hope to have trained and equipped 20,000 Youth/Single mothers with different skills by year 2025
Program Coverage
ZOE is currently operating in city slums of Kampala and Wakiso like; Natete-mabito, Nansana, Kalerwe, Kabowa, Busega-kibumbilo, Namungona and Nakulabye. We expect to extend our operations in all other slums in cities/towns around Uganda
Program design
Our programs are designed on a replication basis. We target to develop skills of youth/singles mothers who will then become change agents in their communities. Also, youth/single mothers who are successfully trained are seen off with a capitalization package of tools/machine and a small financial to help start their own businesses. Through our monitoring, the Youth/single mothers who are given these packages are encouraged to work and buy their own machines and initial ones are given out to other incoming youth/single mothers.
