Vision:Remnant Uganda envisions a community who would be radically transformed by the hope of Jesus Christ. In response to God's love, it is our desire that they would then become agents of change in the world around them.
Mission:
Remnant Uganda is designed to empower vulnerable individuals to rise above poverty by generating opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.
Program Outline:
Remnant Uganda aims to help women fight and overcome poverty, through the development of a screen printing and sewing program. The goal of the program is to provide women with the skills necessary to be self-sustainable after completion of the program. Remnant Uganda does this by providing the women a sustainable income and giving opportunities to develop necessary skills through programs in leadership, finance and savings training, vocational training, and business mentorships. Each beneficiary will graduate when the Country Directors and Project Managers feel the women have received the needed training and skills, and, in turn, they feel they are capable to further pursue a vocation of their own.
