Why Financial Literacy Matters for Single Mothers in Uganda
Financial literacy is more than understanding money—it is understanding how to make money work for you. For single mothers in Uganda, financial education is a powerful tool that can break poverty cycles and rebuild confidence.
At Andeleya Foundation, we incorporate financial literacy into all our women empowerment programs.
What Financial Literacy Teaches
Our trainings help mothers learn:
- How to save regularly
- How to budget for family needs
- How to start a micro-business
- How to separate business and personal money
- How to avoid exploitative loans
- How to join village savings groups (VSLA)
With this knowledge, mothers gain stability and the ability to plan for their children’s futures.
The Reality for Many Single Mothers
Without financial education, many women fall into:
- Debt cycles
- Unprofitable businesses
- Inconsistent income
- Stress and emotional pressure
- Difficulty providing for their families
But with proper training, everything changes.
