Our partners
We are working with Tranz Network Uganda to strengthen their Transgender Resilience and Economic Empowerment (TREE) program.
On Friday 20th November, 2020, Tranz Network Uganda launched new initiative Transgender Resilience and Economic Empowerment (TREE).
What is the Tree Project?
The transgender people in Uganda over the years have been one of the most marginalized populations. An environment rich in Trans phobia fueled by social cultural biases have seen a large number of transgender persons drop out of school and left with no formal sources of income.
The TREE project aims to build social capital and resilience of Trans community members in Uganda through the formation of saving groups (VSLA model), promotion of financial inclusion, entrepreneurship and vocational skills development and linkage to other social economic empowerment activities.
Project Goal:
-
To contribute to the economic transformation of Trans gender persons in Uganda.
