Archdiocese of Mbarara Development AssociationSeventy-six women from Nyabwiina Parish learned soap making, petroleum jelly production, briquette making and baking at a training led by AMDA Women.
The training took place at St. Claret Nyabwiina Parish on 25 August 2026, ahead of the Caravan. It forms part of AMDA Women’s commitment to strengthen the economic and social well-being of women where the Caravan serves, with skills that last long after the caravan has moved on.
Participants made bar soap for home use and sale, prepared petroleum jelly, produced environment-friendly briquettes from waste materials, and made mandazi as an extra source of income. The day also opened conversations on parenting, hygiene, family well-being and the role of women in community development.
The training was coordinated by Mallen Begumana, Jessica Ndyanabo and Annet Asiimwe. Written by Rogers Tuhiirirwe.
