Empowering futures, together
Our impactful programs
JEP Compassionate Hands offers a range of specialized programs designed to meet the unique needs of our community members. Our approach is holistic, focusing on practical solutions that foster independence and resilience.
Nourishing communities
We provide essential food and nutrition support to vulnerable families, ensuring children and women have access to healthy meals, promoting better health outcomes, and preventing malnutrition in the Rwenzori sub-region.
Empowering young lives
Our housing and education support programs offer a safe haven and learning opportunities for orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC), giving them a foundation for a brighter future and breaking cycles of poverty.
Strengthening families
We equip parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills for equitable parenting, enhancing their ability to nurture and protect children, leading to stronger family units and supportive home environments.
A unique approach to change
What truly sets JEP Compassionate Hands apart is our commitment to volunteerism and a deep focus on grassroots, local ecosystems. This hands-on, community-driven model ensures that every program is deeply rooted in the needs of the people we serve. Through our efforts, we witness significant mindset shifts towards equitable parenting. Girls and women become socially and economically empowered, contributing meaningfully to society, and incomes increase, leading to better childhood and livelihood outcomes for marginalized communities.
Skilling & enterprise development
Our programs foster economic independence by providing women and girls with valuable skills and enterprise development training. This empowers them to start businesses, secure employment, and become financially resilient contributors to their families and communities.
