Katwe, Uganda, is a salt-mining community near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. In this region, women suffer much abuse from local men, and many women are abandoned after they have children. The Mordecai Project partnered with Pastor Denis Lazaro and his wife in 2023 to begin helping the women in their city. We remodeled a church building and opened our vocational training center that year. We provide classes in tailoring and other skills so these women can make a living wage.
