Partner Highlight: Uganda Women Concern Ministries
In Mbale, Sam connected with Uganda Women Concern Ministries (UWCM). Esther, the organisation’s director, and her team have embraced two of Links’ core focus areas: Faith and Business.

Our partnership with UWCM illustrates how combining Faith leadership training with sustainable Business initiatives can strengthen and build teams to be more impactful in the communities they serve.
