      <image:title>Our Story - Our story</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nicolette Manglos-Weber On my first visit to Uganda in the Summer of 2014, I was struck by two things. First, I noticed how many Ugandans spoke skeptically of the government and major NGOs. They did not look to such agents to help them solve their everyday problems, such as getting food and water, sending their kids to school, finding paid work, accessing health care, or building homes and gardens. Coming from the U.S., I though such entities would be the primary agents of social welfare, but I found most Ugandans did not see them that way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - Caring as a radical act</image:title>
      <image:caption>The result was a simple but profound conclusion: caring is a radical act in today’s world. Modern economic development has upset systems of care in Uganda and elsewhere, in its singular devotion to growing capital, exploiting resources, and employing one-size-fits-all solutions. In response, creating new sites of care is work that counters the logics of development and exploitation. It is also very often a spiritual work, one that upholds the sacred space of human vulnerability and interdependence. It is a work that can bring diverse sacred traditions together in a shared project of elevating and honoring care.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Josephine Kizza - Meet the caregiver</image:title>
      <image:caption>Josephine Kizza is a busy woman. Her organization, St. Jude’s Family Projects, has been featured regularly in the news; has been visited and celebrated by Uganda’s President Museveni; and has partnered with numerous other organizations in shared initiatives and contracts. She has built a new campus for her own College of Agro-ecology; and she has started trainings with schools around the country on how to use their campus lands effectively to feed their poorest students. Every time we sit down, she tells me something new about an initiative she has started, an integrated farming method she is developing, or an area of ecology she is learning and teaching about. All this from a woman who, 30 years ago, had few possessions other than a 3.5-acre piece of land and two small pigs.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aab2cf6b7c4321ae33eca/1617286182242-CS868DHLS95GW6EYA1XV/St.+Jude+5.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Josephine Kizza - The background</image:title>
      <image:caption>Josephine and her husband John were internally displaced during the civil wars of the 1980s. While living in the capital of Kampala, they became concerned about John’s family in the southern town of Masaka, where some of the worst fighting between the government military and rebel forces was taking place. They decided to travel south to see them. Soon, though, their return was cut off by more fighting and their home in Kampala was ransacked. They had no choice but to make a new life in Masaka.  They were given the land and the pigs from a relative. Trained as a teacher, Josephine knew very little about farming. But she is a naturally curious and tenacious woman, who adopted her new profession with vigor. She was able to attend an organic integrated farming course offered by a woman from the United Kingdom, and soon found herself instructing her neighbors on better, less costly, and more efficient ways of gardening.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Josephine Kizza - Feeding, tending, and caring</image:title>
      <image:caption>When her husband passed away in 2004, she was left to run the farm and raise their four children alone. This did not deter her: she continued to expand the project and offer trainings, primarily to the poorest female-headed households and youth in her community. She began to learn and share about the systemic problems faced by Uganda’s family farms, including irregular rains caused by climate change, imported fertilizers and pesticides, the loss of heirloom varieties of seeds, and inconsistent markets for cash crops like coffee. She also became an agricultural producer in her own right, supplying organic fruit and juice to both domestic markets and buyers in Germany and the United Kingdom.</image:caption>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aab2cf6b7c4321ae33eca/1617800798258-NK3P8O5JZN1WIF8J5A5S/Rawanda-Uganda+957.JPG</image:loc>
      <image:title>Josephine Kizza - Although St. Jude’s Family Farm receives some donor support, they rely even more on the sale of their products and the income they earn from their paid demonstrations. The sustainability of this model, as a productive farming business and now training college, allows her to serve her clients and develop new projects as she sees fit. It also allows her to maintain consistency with her students and clients, an important aspect of collective care.  Josephine is a successful businesswoman, but her primary passion is to help others and be a guide for women in poverty. As she says:  A hero must never give up. A hero must encourage others not to give up, must continue encouraging others, and must live to see to it that everyone is successful, and live and cerebrate every one’s success. Those are the heroes that we want to see and think of.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hajjat Lukia Wamala - Meet the caregiver</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a teenager, Lukia Wamala greatly admired the teachers at her Muslim secondary school. They were women of substance and faith, smart and purposeful. She followed them into the profession, first teaching and then leading an elite school in Wakiso district. After ten years there, she sold a piece of land at a major profit, and decided to start a new adventure: her own school, in her home area of Luwero. The school would combine high quality education, attractive to wealthier families, with a system of counseling, financial aid, and positive peer support for needy students in the area.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On my first visit to the Busika Muslim campus, it is Sunday morning. I can hear singing coming from a building that looks like a chapel, at the other end of the school courtyard. I learn from Hajjat Lukia that the Christian students are having a worship gathering in their interfaith chapel. She explains that although it is a school run by Muslims, their reputation for community and moral discipline has attracted Ugandans of all faiths. Along with mixing faiths, they also mix social classes among the students at Busika Muslim. There are a number of boarding students who pay the full tuition, from families across the country—and even neighboring countries—who can afford it. These tuitions then subsidize fees for “day scholars,” who are young adults from poor families in the local community.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Vivian Kityo - The burdens of young women</image:title>
      <image:caption>Life for teenage women has changed a lot in Uganda in the past two generations. In the traditional rural agricultural system, women would marry young and leave their parents’ farm for that of their husbands’ family. As that way of life has faded, the new benchmarks of “acceptable” womanhood include attending formal school, seeking paid work, and delaying marriage and childbearing. Yet many young women also lack the resources, access, and support to succeed in these ways. Their families cannot afford good schools, and they are often left to scramble for income to meet their basic needs. Sometimes that means sex work; other times, it is romantic relationships with older men who can support them. In still more tragic cases, they are victims of incest or rape by men in their families and communities. When these situations end in pregnancy, the women can be rejected by their families, or they run away from home out of fear. These are the cases that Wakisa is dedicated to caring for.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Florence Kaluuba - Meet the caregiver</image:title>
      <image:caption>Florence Kaluuba is a lifelong educator. She grew up with her grandfather, who was a chief over three villages in the Northern regions of Uganda, during the period of colonial rule by the British Empire (1894-1962). Seeing her natural intelligence early on, Florence’s grandfather enlisted her help to manage his estate and keep records of his extensive cattle herd. Florence also watched her grandfather care for his communities: he would daily open his home to feed anyone who was hungry, he built a local chapel for area Anglicans, and he paid for private school for dozens of his neighbors’ children. As a young woman, Florence attended a teacher training college in Kampala, where she excelled. She got married and started teaching in some of Uganda’s most elite schools. Later she started her own private preschool and was employed at a YMCA teacher training college.  While working for the YMCA, she noticed that even though the teacher training program was designed to be affordable, many of the young women who were students dropped out before completing. Either they could not find childcare to attend class, or they could not afford exam fees. She decided she would start her own teacher training college that would fully accommodate these neediest of students, and Mirembe Community College was born.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Florence Kaluuba - New strategies</image:title>
      <image:caption>As Mirembe grew, Florence embraced opportunities to make it accessible to the poorest students. She partnered with Plan International to house and educate former sex workers at the college, and she received loans from Kiva International to expand technical training into tailoring and catering. She also noticed the homeless youth in her neighborhood, and decided to start a related NGO, named Community Restoration Initiative (CORE). This would be a transitional space for homeless youth, providing skills and support to help them attain a sustainable living.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Florence Kaluuba - A mother to many</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today, Mirembe Community College and CORE are linked programs through which Florence uses her gifts as an educator to take care of the most vulnerable young people in her community. At CORE, she provides food and shelter and counseling through the traumas of severe poverty and abandonment. At Mirembe, she provides accredited degrees, on par with the best technical colleges in the country, for young people to pursue sustainable professions. As she once told us,   Managing these young people, actually love is the most important thing…when they come here, they feel rejected, and they want to see whether we have the hearts to accept them. So, we first show them that we accept them as they are, then we restore their hope in the society. They have lost hope in mother, father, the community, the police, so we tell them they are beautiful people. It is loving them.</image:caption>
