JULIET

ARTISAN/ BUDUDA, UGANDA

Juliet is a student at the Bududa Learning Center in Bududa, Uganda. Our friends on the BLC staff teach skills to impoverished Ugandan youth to help empower them to support their families. 77% of Ugandans are under 25, and the unemployment rate for young people in Uganda is 83%. It’s even higher for students with a University degree, as the higher paying jobs are very scarce Vocational training is key to changing the trajectory for Ugandan youth. Juliet receives instruction from our friend, Stephen, who leads the sewing class and makes all of our Ugandan skirts and gift bags happen!
