Peopleweaver is a USA non–profit organization established in 2008 to provide EDUCATIONAL and ECONOMIC assistance, such as microcredit loans, to impoverished girls, women and women-lead family groups in developing countries. The intent of this assistance is to help girls and women escape extreme poverty and have more fulfilling lives. Our efforts are focused on Congolese women and girls living in the Kyangwali Refugee Settlement in Uganda, and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We have formed partnerships with local people and organizations to achieve program success.
Although our primary focus is education and microcredit, aid has also included food, malaria nets, medicine, reading glasses, communication tools, treadle water pumps, and two cooperative grain mills. We started a "Free Little Library" at a primary school in the Kyangwali settlement. Adding books and libraries is ongoing. In 2013 we partnered with a local grassroots organization, to start an adult education school in Kyangwali. We hope to expand the school project to several locations.
