The Empowerment of Uggandan migrant returnees from Gulf countries is a critical initiative spearheaded by the Migrant Workers Voice (MWV) through their Tannage Mothers' Club. This program focuses on providing essential skills training, which is vital for reintegration and economic independence.

Skills Development Initiatives

MWV emphasizes practical skills training in various areas, including:

  • Detergent Production: Training returnees in making eco-friendly detergents not only provides a potential income source but also promotes sustainable practices.

  • Tailoring: This skill enables returnees to create clothing and accessories, fostering entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency.

  • Other Vocational Skills: Programs also include training in hairdressing, baking, and crafts, ensuring a diverse skill set that caters to different market demands.

Economic Empowerment

By equipping returnees with these skills, MWV aims to enhance their employability and ability to start their own businesses. This empowerment helps break the cycle of dependency and exploitation that many faced abroad.

Community Support

The Tannage Mothers' Club fosters a supportive community where returnees can share experiences and challenges. This network encourages collaboration and mutual assistance, further strengthening their reintegration efforts.

Advocacy and Policy Engagement

MWV also advocates for better policies to protect migrant workers and support returnees. By engaging with government and non-governmental organizations, they aim to create a more robust support system that addresses the specific needs of returnees.

Conclusion

The MWV's focus on skilling Ugandan migrant returnees through the Tannage Mothers' Club is a vital step towards empowering these individuals. By providing practical training and fostering community support, MWV is helping returnees rebuild their lives and contribute positively to their communities.
