About us
Sawa World believes there is a way to end extreme poverty for billions of people on our planet. The solution lies in the minds, hands and hearts of those who suffer it most. We called them Sawa Leaders; unsung heroes who have themselves been among the one billion people living on one dollar a day or less. Their solutions are documented and shared by vulnerable, unemployed youth in their communities. The youth are trained by Sawa World’s local media partners to become community reporters (Sawa Youth Reporters). Sawa Youth Reporters produce short videos and regular updates about the practical solutions and impact of Sawa Leaders and present them throughout their region and through local media. This allows other impoverished people to feel inspired and to replicate the solutions in their own communities. And it allows the Sawa Youth to find leadership in their communities, and in themselves – to become the Sawa Leaders of tomorrow. Sawa focuses on the world’s poorest countries and ensures these solutions are shared and succeed as locally created, permanent solutions that thrive independent of charity and foreign aid. This unique strategy, repeated many times over, will result, sooner than we ever imagined, in a world free of extreme poverty. A Sawa World!

This year's International Women's Day theme, “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment,” highlights the importance of creating opportunities for women to thrive, lead, and build the futures they deserve. Women and girls in Uganda face various challenges, including unequal access to education and cultural inequalities that limit their potential. One effective way to break these challenges is by providing these women with training in easy-to-start local income skills. Our work is transforming the lives of marginalized youth and communities by equipping them with practical local income skills such as poultry farming and producing reusable sanitary pads. These skills are easy to learn, require minimal investment, and can be used to start their microbusinesses, develop self-reliance and sustainable livelihoods. For over 16 years, Sawa World has scaled up initiatives to identify thriving local entrepreneurs, particularly women, to share their skills in more communities across Uganda. These entrepreneurs are creating a ripple effect of impact where women are not just participants but leaders actively contributing to the transformation of their communities.

Starting a microbusiness to improve your income doesn’t always require large investments. Easy-to-start and cost-effective local income skills can make all the difference. One such skill is poultry hatchery management, a game-changer for small-scale poultry farmers looking to increase production, boost profits, and create sustainable income. By setting up a hatchery, poultry farmers can cut costs on buying chicks, and earn additional income from selling the chicks. Do you want to learn how it’s done? Francis, an experienced poultry farmer and Sawa World Solution Entrepreneur explains the step-by-step process of setting up a low-cost poultry hatchery and shares how his local income skill has impacted his business and livelihood.
