Based on a 2012 survey, more than half of the seamstresses in our Gulu-based social enterprise were operating Income Generating Activities (IGAs)—and 81.8% expressed interest in starting their own. To learn more about how, the ladies stepped away from their sewing machines last week for a fieldtrip. Local facilitators with business skills training experience set up visits to area businesses that offered a look at their operations and insight into successes and challenges. Field training like this is one of the ways Mend equips women with the knowledge and skills needed to generate income and improve livelihood.
