Craft Product payment -- The 20 women who participate in The Mighty River Project's artisan program have financial need based on socioeconomic and/or health status. They handcraft traditional Ugandan products, which we purchase from them at fair prices. This income allows them a dignified way to provide for their families, alleviating their poverty. This allows The Mighty River Project to accomplish the primary tax exempt purpose of giving vulnerable families the means to keep their families together and their children out of institutional care. This benefits the 20 artisans and their 76 household family members.$0$19,389
School tuition and supplies - 60 children's school tuition paid, school shoes and uniforms purchased$0$15,109
Outreach -- Nutritious food given to 96 program participants (20 adults and their children) and to others in need in their communities, mentoring classes that teach personal hygiene life skills, and family skills, emergency transportation to and from the hospital for those in need. These classes have approximately 30 attendees each, for a total of 200+ participants from the community.$0$6,789
