Voices of impact

When a woman begins to believe in her own potential, transformation begins. NVIWODA began under an umbrella tree — vision, determination and belief in women.

Nyarwa Cissy Edith Executive Director, NVIWODA

NVIWODA opened our eyes to entrepreneurship. From a bakery oven to a Ministry of Defence bread tender — lives of wives of soldiers were changed.

Jovanice A. Bossa Coordinator, ROWOSA

In 2001 NVIWODA awarded me a certificate in entrepreneurship. I still apply those skills. Congratulations on 35 years of transforming lives.

Twesigye Stevens Ex-trainee, Mbarara

We grow enough for our households and have surplus to sell. Water tanks, plant tea and wheelbarrows changed dry-season farming and brought more peace at home.
