At RRYM we are very proud to support the Tailoring Project at Kyangwali Refugee Settlement in Northern Uganda, where initial contributions included the construction of the semi-permanent structure housing the project, and purchase of sewing machines, furniture, and essential equipment needed to establish the programme.

More recently, this project has been scaled to support a  3–4 month tailoring programme, which provides practical vocational training for young women living in Kyangwali Refugee Camp, Uganda, who face limited employment and income-generating opportunities. The programme equips participants with marketable tailoring and garment-making skills, helping them build self-reliance, improve their livelihoods, and increase their prospects for sustainable employment or small business creation.

The course serves approximately 30–40 women each year at a cost of just £15–£20 per student. Training is delivered by a dedicated instructor, with salary costs ranging from £40–£62 per month depending on whether tuition is provided on a part-time or full-time basis. By investing in practical skills development, the programme empowers refugee women to support themselves and their families while contributing to their local community.
