Livelihood Projects That Are Changing Lives at Uplift Her Hub.

Uplift Her Hub offers a variety of livelihood projects that are changing the lives of teenage mothers and their families. These projects are designed to equip them with the skills they need to generate income, become self-sufficient, and build sustainable futures. Let’s dive into five key projects that are making a difference in the lives of these young women.

  1. Soap Production:
    Soap production is one of our flagship programs at Uplift Her Hub. Participants are trained in creating high-quality handmade soaps using natural ingredients. They learn about sourcing raw materials, the production process, packaging, and marketing. This hands-on training allows them to start their own soap-making businesses and generate income. Not only does this project teach valuable technical skills, but it also encourages creativity as participants experiment with different scents, colors, and designs. Handmade soap is in high demand due to its eco-friendly nature, making this a profitable venture.
  2. Tailoring:
    Our tailoring program offers young single mothers and youth the opportunity to learn essential sewing skills. This program teaches them how to design and produce clothing, from everyday wear to specialized items like school uniforms and wedding attire. In addition to learning the craft, participants are also taught business management skills such as pricing, inventory, and customer relations. This enables them to start their own small tailoring businesses and cater to the needs of their communities. With time, many have gone on to create sustainable businesses that support their families and contribute to local economies.
  3. Candle Making:
    Candle making is a creative business that involves the production of eco-friendly candles. Participants in this program learn the art of making candles from various materials, including wax, wicks, and dyes. They are taught to make different types of candles, including scented candles, decorative candles, and therapeutic candles. This project teaches entrepreneurial skills such as pricing, packaging, and market research. As candle making is a low-cost startup business, it provides a great opportunity for financial independence and helps participants gain confidence in their abilities to create and sell.
  4. Book Production:
    The book production project allows teenage mothers to learn how to produce locally published books. From content creation to printing, participants are involved in every stage of production. The project encourages creativity and entrepreneurship as they design covers, edit content, and manage the distribution process. This initiative not only fosters literacy and educational development but also provides participants with the opportunity to become authors and publishers themselves. Many have found success by publishing educational resources, children’s books, and even memoirs, with proceeds from book sales funding their future projects.
  5. Chalk Production:
    The chalk production project is designed to provide a sustainable income source for teenage mothers while contributing to local schools. Participants are trained to produce eco-friendly chalk, which is a low-cost but high-demand item in schools. By teaching them how to source materials, produce the chalk, and market it, we help participants start their own businesses and provide an important resource for the education sector. This project has not only provided income but has also instilled a sense of pride and contribution to the educational community.
