People with Disabilities (PWDs) in Uganda face significant challenges in accessing economic opportunities, leading to dependence on family members and community support. Limited access to education, vocational training, and employment opportunities exacerbate their economic exclusion. Furthermore, societal discrimination and stigma hinder their ability to participate fully in economic activities.

To address these challenges, Twahirah Islamic Charity Organization (TICO), in partnership with Coca-Cola Beverage Uganda and YOPDIDA, embarked on a project to empower 100 PWDs through entrepreneurship skills training at Kayunga District.

On 26th March 2025, we successfully concluded a two-day training, equipping 100 PWDs with essential entrepreneurship skills, business management knowledge, and vocational training in cookery and bakery and book binding. By doing so, we’ve taken a crucial step towards promoting economic inclusion, self-reliance, and dignity for PWDs in Uganda.
