Our club is currently preparing a Rotary Global Grant to expand our Village Savings and Loans (VSL) Project in Central Uganda. This is a collaboration with the Rotary Clubs of Kyoga Basin and Soroti Central, and our local NGO partner, AWIGOE. The project helps rural families, especially women, gain access to community-based savings, loans, and small business training. Since 2021, we've successfully established and trained 150 VSL groups, helping members triple their household income. The upcoming 2026 grant will expand the program to 200 groups and provide revolving capital loans ($50,000) through PostBank Uganda.
Need $19,200
This project needs to receive some pledges to go to the next level. Please check the "Financing" tab to see the list of current pledges. Once the amount pledged is equal to the project budget, the status of the project will be automatically changed to "Fully Pledged". Click here to pledge support for this project.
Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
