The Issues
Our Impact
Build Clinics and Community Outreach

Give Us Wings built two clinics. One in rural Kenya on the shores of Lake Victoria and the other in rural Uganda. For the first several years that Give Us Wings worked in these communities, we would hold health camps. People from the community and far beyond would wait in lines for hours to be seen by the medical professionals who had volunteered their services. Give Us Wings staff met with the members of community-based groups in the villages and discussed with them how best to improve the health of their communities. The group members agreed that they needed local clinics that would provide affordable, quality health care.
Provide Educational Opportunities

Give Us Wings constructed the Lake Victoria Young Women's Academy in Nyaoga, Kenya. The Academy is designed to accommodate young women and their pre-school aged children so that the women can complete their primary education.
The Family to Family Sponsorship Program in Uganda focuses on helping students get a high quality education and provides support to the entire family. Children are more likely to succeed in school if they are living in a stable, nurturing environment that supports them. Our program applies a holistic approach to help the whole family succeed.
Business training and mentoring for groups and Cooperatives

Give Us Wings' Entrepreneurial and Livelihoods Development Program (ELD) is designed to help end poverty, improve nutrition and food security and promote sustainable agriculture. Our focus, although not exclusively, is on helping women and girls achieve gender equality and become economically empowered. Ultimately, ELD is designed to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth for our partners.
