Reimagining the Pathway out of Poverty
Women's Economic Empowerment
We help women entrepreneurs in rural Uganda build their own pathways out of poverty through practical business training, accessible finance, and ongoing mentorship.
The challenge
Bridging the finance gap for women entrepreneurs
Across Uganda, women are already building livelihoods as tailors, hairdressers, farmers, and traders. They have skills, they have customers and ambition to grow. But systemic barriers prevent them from accessing the capital and practical support they needed to grow.
These small and informal businesses, largely run by women, are often excluded from conventional finance because they lack collateral, formal records or established banking relationships.
HOHA helps bridge this gap by pairing accessible finance with practical business support, helping women strengthen their businesses and create sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their families. Our model aims to prove the capability of women entrepreneurs, transitioning them to formal financing at fair rates.

our approach
Investing in Women
We invest directly in women with the skills, resources and financial support they need to build sustainable livelihoods and create a better future for themselves and their families.
We help women build practical, income-generating skills and turn what they already know into opportunity. Through vocational and business training, women gain the tools and confidence to build livelihoods of their own.
We provide accessible funding to women who are often excluded from traditional finance. Small business loans give women the boost they need to start a business, invest in what is already working and create more reliable sources of income.
We work alongside women as they put their skills and capital into action. Through trusted local partnerships and ongoing guidance, women have the support to overcome challenges, strengthen their businesses and work toward lasting financial independence.
our approach in action
Meet Sylvia
Sylvia started by splitting and selling firewood in her community to earn a living and support her family.
When demand for her firewood grew, Sylvia lacked the working capital to fulfil larger orders. With HOHA’s support, she expanded her business, secured contracts with local businesses and began delivering firewood by the truckload.
