Voices of Impact

Hear from those whose lives have been transformed through our initiatives. These voices of change inspire us to continue our mission for a sustainable, healthy, and empowered community

Hands for You Foundation has truly transformed our community. From teaching us how to grow our own food in small spaces to providing eco-friendly menstrual hygiene options, their impact has been profound. We’re healthier, more self-sufficient, and more conscious of our environment. Their work is a blessing to us all
Peter KBweyogerere Community Leader
Seeing plastic waste turn into something as valuable as food production was an eye-opener for me. Hands for You Foundation has not only helped us reduce waste but has also taught us how to recycle in a way that benefits our families. I never thought growing vegetables in plastic bottles would be possible, but now it’s part of our everyday life!
Maria NakatoBweyogerere Resident
The kitchen garden I set up with the help of Hands for You has been a game-changer for my family’s diet. We now have a steady supply of nutritious vegetables right outside our door. It’s convenient, cost-effective, and has significantly improved our health. I am forever grateful for the knowledge and support provided by this incredible organization
Josephine TBweyogerere Resident
Before the Keep her in school project, many of us girls were missing school during our periods because we couldn’t afford sanitary pads. The reusable pads we received have changed everything. Now we can attend school without worry, and the sessions helped us understand our bodies better. I feel more confident and supported, thanks to Hands for You Foundation!
Rebecca NStudent, Mayuge District
The awareness sessions provided by Hands for You were incredibly impactful, especially for the boys. It was important for them to understand menstruation and support their classmates instead of stigmatizing them. The distribution of reusable pads and soap also means our girls can focus on their education without the fear of being embarrassed or missing school
Mr. John BTeacher, Mayuge District
I was worried about my daughter missing school because we couldn’t always afford sanitary products. The reusable pads provided by the foundation are a blessing. She’s more confident, and the awareness sessions have helped even the boys in her school to be more understanding. It’s a huge relief to know she can stay in school and focus on her studies.
Grace MParent, Kiboga District
The reusable pads we received have made such a big difference in my life. I no longer have to worry about missing classes or feeling embarrassed during my period. The sessions taught us so much, and now I feel proud to be a girl. Hands for You Foundation has given me the confidence to chase my dreams without fear.
Lydia KStudent, Rakai District
I used to dread going to school during my period, but now with the reusable pads and the support from Hands for You Foundation, I don’t have to worry anymore. The awareness sessions helped us understand that menstruation is normal and nothing to be ashamed of. I’m grateful for the knowledge and the pads—they’ve kept me in school and on track with my studies.
Patricia WStudent, Kiboga District
Volunteering with Hands for You Foundation has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Working on the kitchen farming project allowed me to see firsthand how small changes can have a big impact on a community. The sense of accomplishment I felt when I saw families thriving with their own gardens was indescribable. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such meaningful work.
Nancy BakobaVolunteer
Joining the Hands for You Foundation on the menstrual hygiene initiative was an eye-opener for me. The commitment to breaking the stigma around menstruation and providing girls with the resources they need to stay in school is truly inspiring. I felt honored to be part of a team that is making such a positive difference in the lives of young women. I learned so much and grew both personally and professionally.
Ritah TugumeVolunteer
Working with Hands for You Foundation has been an incredible journey. The dedication to sustainability and community empowerment resonated deeply with me. Whether it was helping to set up kitchen gardens or participating in awareness sessions in schools, every moment was filled with purpose. I’m thankful for the chance to be part of an organization that is genuinely changing lives and protecting the environment.
John MapambanoVolunteer
Before Hands for You introduced kitchen farming to our community, we struggled to get fresh vegetables. Now, with just a few recycled bottles and sacks, we have a thriving garden right at home. Not only are we saving money on groceries, but our family is also eating healthier. It’s amazing how much we’ve achieved with their guidance!
