Nantege Ruth

In Kalliti Village, Wakiso District, 12-year-old Nantege Ruth faced an unexpected pregnancy that led to her abandonment by her family and the father of her child. Burdened with impending motherhood at such a young age, Ruth's future seemed bleak.

Through PSM Charity’s Youthful Moms, Resilient Futures Program, Ruth received comprehensive training in fashion and design, along with essential business management skills. A pivotal moment in her journey was receiving a sewing machine from MTN Uganda, which transformed her ability to produce high-quality products and increase her income by 40%. This support not only stabilized her life but also empowered four other youths in her community to start their own businesses.

Despite her progress, Ruth dreams of learning catering, a goal that remains out of reach due to limited resources. With your support, PSM Charity can expand the program to help Ruth and many others achieve their full potential.
