WELCOME TO THE RIBE PROJECT

WHO WE ARE

Ribe means Unity

Here at The Ribe Project, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. Two countries united to make a difference here in northern Uganda. Ribe is the Acholi word for unity, which is what we continually work for.

We believe opportunity is the key to success. We see amazing potential in our friends and neighbors, often alongside frustration with their inability to make that first step toward affecting change for their family and in their community. The Ribe Project can be that first step in the process.

Creating Global Citizens

OUR MISSION

•The Ribe Project strives to inspire, educate and empower women in northern Uganda by focusing on community unity and development. Our goal is to provide sustainable employment at a fair wage as well as business and vocational education to women in need, including, young mothers, former abductees, and women affected by HIV. Our programs allow these women to reach their untapped potential and to create economic growth, in turn aiding their families and community.

Client Selection

Serving Women in Vulnerable Situations

Nearly 800 million people live in extreme poverty globally. We work with our local partners to identify those who need our program the most, making young mothers, former abductees and those affected by HIV a priority. Applicants qualify for our program based on a needs-assessment survey, which is part of our selection process.

Life and Livelihood Skills Training

Sustainable Changes

At The Ribe Project, we are dedicated to supporting individuals in their efforts to empower themselves. Our training curriculum provides our participants with the knowledge needed to greatly improve their economic and social situation. Often, these skills then provide families the ability to stay together. With equal access to resources, people around the world grow to become empowered individuals with the ability to chase their dreams and use the tools they need to build the life they want.

Financial Literacy

Getting Started

People living in extreme poverty want to end their reliance on emergency aid to meet their needs. Our participants want the ability to improve the lives of their families. With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with this challenge. Creating savings accounts can allow this empowerment to begin.
