The BRIDGE Project (Oct 2024 – Sept 2026), supported by FEMI Foundation, works with 35 at-risk households, including women with disabilities, young mothers, widows, and women living with HIV/AIDS, to break cycles of vulnerability.

The project uses a holistic, household-centered approach: households identify strengths and challenges, create actionable plans, and receive financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and digital skills training, plus start-up capital of 1,000,000 UGX. Women form support groups to save, lend, and manage income-generating activities collectively. Referral pathways link households to social, health, and legal services, ensuring safety and well-being.
