Medical Center

Nkuke Village in Masaka District, Uganda, relies on subsistence farming but faces severe healthcare challenges due to inadequate facilities, low health worker wages, and supply shortages. The Tebajjukira Medical Centre seeks to bridge this gap by offering comprehensive care, support, and education. Honoring traditional midwives like Josephine Tebajjukira, the center will blend modern healthcare with ancestral wisdom to improve maternal and child health while addressing broader medical needs.

The center will provide outpatient care, HIV/AIDS management, reproductive health, pediatrics, maternity, surgery, and dental services. A mobile clinic will extend essential care, including check-ups, immunizations, and maternal health, to underserved communities. Focused on prevention and education, this initiative ensures accessible, affordable healthcare for vulnerable groups, aligning with THEN’s mission.

Cosmetics and beauty training

Cosmetics and beauty training, particularly in hair braiding, is a growing sector in Uganda, empowering individuals, especially women and youth, with marketable skills. Hair braiding is deeply rooted in Ugandan culture, serving as both a form of personal expression and a thriving business opportunity.

Training programs in this field equip participants with techniques in traditional and modern braiding styles, hygiene practices, customer service, and entrepreneurship. These skills create pathways to financial independence, enabling trainees to start their own businesses or secure employment in salons and beauty parlors.

In a country where unemployment remains a challenge, such training initiatives play a vital role in socio-economic development. They provide sustainable livelihoods while enhancing confidence and creativity among participants, fostering a stronger and more self-reliant community.

Sweater Knitting

Sweater knitting training in Uganda empowers women and youth by providing practical, income-generating skills. Beyond being a craft, knitting offers a viable business opportunity, especially for producing school uniforms and meeting local market demands.

Training programs cover design, pattern creation, knitting machine operation, and business skills, enabling participants to establish or grow their ventures. By fostering self-reliance and entrepreneurship, sweater knitting helps reduce unemployment, boost household incomes, and preserve traditional crafts while meeting community needs.

Tailoring

Tailoring training in Uganda empowers individuals with practical, income-generating skills, fostering economic self-sufficiency. Participants learn garment cutting, sewing, pattern making, and embroidery, enabling them to create clothing for local markets and meet the demand for custom-made attire.

Focused on women and youth, these programs promote creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, helping reduce unemployment and uplift vulnerable groups. As a cornerstone of Uganda’s small-scale business sector, tailoring provides a pathway to financial independence and community development
