Key Focus Areas
Ziingo is a registered non-profit organization based in the rural communities of Eastern Uganda. We are committed to transforming the lives of vulnerable women and children through sustainable economic empowerment and access to education.
Operating in the Bugisu sub-region, Ziingo currently serves six key districts: Mbale, Manafwa, Sironko, Bulambuli, Bududa, and Namisindwa.
Our main focus areas include the following;
Education
Ziingo sponsors 57 vulnerable children—particularly those living with HIV, total orphans, survivors of abuse, and victims of child trafficking—by supporting their education. This includes covering school fees, providing meals, and supplying essential scholastic materials such as books, uniforms, pens, and pencils.
Empowerment
We empower vulnerable women—primarily survivors of domestic abuse, widows, and those living with HIV—through support groups focused on economic self-reliance. We provide agricultural support with seeds and training, as well as vocational skills such as making reusable sanitary pads for income generation.
Advocacy
We advocate for women’s rights and gender equality by conducting training sessions on domestic violence and abuse. Through our 10 women support groups, we educate members about the dangers of domestic violence and empower them to recognize their rights, resist abuse, and report perpetrators.
