Juliana
Before joining Women Power’s business skills training, Juliana, a refugee mother of four, relied entirely on food rations to sustain her family. Through the entrepreneurship and financial literacy program, she learned how to budget, save, and start a small business. With a start-up grant and mentorship, Juliana began selling handmade baskets and local produce. Today, her business supports her family’s needs, covers her children’s school fees, and provides employment to two other women in her community.
“I never believed I could earn my own income,” Juliana says. “Women Power helped me see my value and build a future for my children.”
Through Women Power’s Girls’ Leadership Club, Grace, 17, gained the confidence to speak out on issues affecting girls in Dzaleka Camp. She now leads peer education sessions on girls’ rights, menstrual hygiene, and gender equality. Her advocacy efforts helped convince local leaders to provide safe spaces for adolescent girls.
“Women Power made me realize that my voice matters. I now help other girls know their rights and stand up for themselves.”

Naomie
Naomie, one of the beneficiaries of Women Power’s women-led farming project, received agricultural inputs including seeds, tools, and training in modern farming techniques. Her first harvest tripled compared to the previous season. She now sells surplus of yield especially maize at the local market, earning steady income and improving her family’s nutrition.
“I used to depend on food aid, but now I produce my own. Farming has given me pride and hope.”
Before joining the Women Power Sports and Leadership Program, Bulonze, a shy 17-year-old, rarely spoke in public. Through weekly football sessions and life-skills training, she developed confidence, teamwork, and leadership abilities. She now captains her school’s girls’ team and mentors adolescent girls to stay in school and believe in themselves.
“Football taught me that girls can lead, win, and make a difference.”

Tundwa
Tundwa, I endured years of emotional abuse before finding help through Women Power’s GBV awareness and counseling services.
With counseling and peer support, I rebuilt my life, and now I serve as a volunteer advocate, helping other survivors.
“Women Power gave me the courage to speak out and start again.”
The success stories of Juliana, Naomi, and Grace are just the beginning. We rely on partners and donors to expand our reach and deepen our programs.
Invest in the next life-changing outcome.
Women Power is a women-led organization equipping refugee women and girls in Dzaleka Refugee Camp with the skills, capital, and confidence they need to become entrepreneurs and leaders.
