Empower
Sustainable Livelihoods and Independent Living Programme
Has a spinal injury affected your ability to work, earn an income or live independently? Many people living with spinal cord injuries experience economic hardship, unemployment and reduced opportunities that undermine their confidence and quality of life.
At Spinal Injuries Support Society (SISS) Uganda, we believe that disability does not diminish human potential. Through our Empower Programme, we equip survivors with practical skills, knowledge and opportunities that promote financial independence, self-reliance and meaningful participation in society.
Our programme supports survivors in rebuilding their lives by creating pathways to employment, entrepreneurship and independent living. We are committed to ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to contribute to society and achieve their full potential.
Empowering Ability Through Opportunity
Independent living goes beyond physical recovery. It includes having the knowledge, confidence and economic opportunities needed to make choices and live with dignity and purpose.
Our Empower Programme provides support through:
- Vocational skills training
- Entrepreneurship and business development support
- Financial literacy and savings programmes
- Employment readiness and job placement support
- Income-generating projects and livelihood initiatives
- Independent living and self-care skills training
- Leadership and self-advocacy programmes
- Community participation and social inclusion activities
Who Can Benefit?
The Empower Programme serves people living with spinal cord injuries and illnesses, youth with disabilities, caregivers and vulnerable households seeking opportunities for economic empowerment and independent living.
