A women’s craft initiative in Uganda’s Masindi district is significantly improving rural livelihoods after two decades of operation. Founded in 1999 by Edna Byabalemi, the group has grown from a small collective into a key driver of income generation and skills development. Byabalemi’s sustained leadership has been central to the project’s success and ongoing community support. The initiative provides economic opportunities for women in a region where they are often limited. It demonstrates the power of grassroots movements to foster economic resilience. The project’s longevity highlights the importance of consistent effort in achieving sustainable development goals.
