Website Construction (CMS-Based)

Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
What we have in place
  • We currently have bought a theme we wold like to use, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an old website that has some content, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to give more to the young women we work with.

Having an updated website will help us communicate with funders and other partners our impact and work

Our mission

To support young women in local capacity building and skills development for technology and entrepreneurship in Uganda, offering a collaborative environment for training, mentorship, and knowledge sharing in order to drive social and economic development in the region.

What we do

We provide young women with tools, resources and opportunities that allow them to start their
own businesses, find work opportunities especially in the technological space and live fulfilled lives. We do this through technical and vocational skills development programs, provision of soft skills training, access to technology for innovation and access to digital devices for learning purposes.

We work with partners right from community/parish level to national level in the delivery of our programs. Some of our partners include KCCA, LCs, Market and religious leaders as well as schools across Uganda.
