Jinja Christian Women Ministry
Jinja, Uganda
|
Jinja Christian Women Ministry was founded in 1999 by a group of 30 women from Jinja District, Uganda, to network, share skills/information, and jointly address the needs and economic well-being of both rural and urban women. The organization's mission is to "uplift and empower the woman into her destiny and value, and so be able to face and overcome the challenges in her surroundings." Their goals include empowering women with marketable skills, supporting and promoting human rights and girls' education, and providing spiritual programs. Structurally, the Ministry is run by a three-member board of trustees, an executive board of seven members, and management council made up of executive board members and four department heads. They have held seminars for skill development, adult literacy, antenatal care and family planning, in addition to regularly hosting "come-together" meetings. They are presently working on nutrition education and have submitted a proposal to bring heifers to fifty homesteads.
