Sawa World

Sawa World is on an exciting journey to identify and partner with youth entrepreneurs transforming their livelihoods and communities using local income skills. Our team recently journeyed to Mityana District, Central Uganda to visit Osborne, a youth entrepreneur who is using innovative techniques to run a flourishing passion fruit farm on a small piece of land. He shared game-changing insights on fruit farming, from soil preparation to post-harvest handling. Want to learn this local income skill?

A Glimpse into #SawaWorldDay2024 The Sawa World Day celebrates and showcases local income skills and the transformation they create in the livelihoods of youth in Uganda and globally. This year's theme, "skilling women to transform communities" shines the spotlight on women as key changemakers within households and communities. Over the two days, 260 participants from Kamuli and Iganga Districts in Eastern Uganda gained hands-on training in three local income-generating skills. To make this training impactful, the participants also received business management training to equip them with knowledge on transforming these skills into sustainable and thriving businesses. This aligns with Sawa World's vision to create a world without poverty where youth living in it lead their way out, a Sawa World (an equal world).

This year, we had the exciting opportunity to revamp the Fondazione Italia Uganda farm in Luzira as part of the Seeds of Hope Project. We redesigned and established various types of gardens, including self-irrigation gardens, pipe gardens, nursery beds, tyre gardens, and more. Each garden provides unique solutions for sustainable food production and income generation. Seeds of Hope emerged in Uganda as a response to the food insecurity increased by the COVID-19 pandemic. In collaboration with Fondazione Italia Uganda, Sawa World introduced urban farming practices aimed at reducing hunger in the Acholi Quarters community located in Luzira, Kampala district in Uganda. #SawaWorld #ItaliaUgandaFoundation #SeedsofHopeProject #MondayMotivation
