Thus reinvesting in sustainable community projects that is evidenced to work but is limited by lack of resources. #IPUganda17

[IPLD_Uganda17 @IPLD_Uganda17]

The charity then would have more resources to support families e.g can't afford education, housing, community animal schemes #IPUganda17

[IPLD_Uganda17 @IPLD_Uganda17]

Suggested the possibility of selling the products internationally online, so maker makes money & the charity generates income. #IPUganda17

The crafts are beautiful and many can now make them but there is issues with local sellers exploiting by unfair prices. Rachel #IPUganda17

@HoughtonVal very excited to keep working and report back 2/2

[IPLD_Uganda17 @IPLD_Uganda17]

@HoughtonVal it is the opposite from the model we work from, the organisation is working to break down the cultural stigma around LD 1/2

Visiting children with learning disabilities in the local villages to offer practice support and advice was such a privilege! #JPUganda17
