AGYA Fashion Design Program Takes Off!

As part of our After-School Program, AGYA currently facilitates an innovative fashion design program in Uganda that teaches women and youth to knit, sew, and make jewelry.

The proceeds go directly back to supporting the fashion design program, which will eventually, provide steady income and job opportunities for unemployed, undereducated women in the Nabulagala community, allowing women to sustain their families
