4Africa was founded in 2011 by two Norwegian ladies, Mona Rege and Elin Zenker Aune. The idea was to focus on investing in local skills and capabilities, and providing opportunities for trade, rather than in setting up a traditional aid project. We provide training in crotchet knitting, jewellery making, and bag production and ensure that all revenue proceeds go towards giving nearly 50 vulnerable women in Uganda a sustainable and fair income. The women at 4Africa also receive nutritious meals every day, further training, and provision for their children to attend a well-run daycare centre. We are very much focused on running a fair trade business. Our goal is that 4Africa in Uganda will become an independent and sustainable business in 2019. We give the women our respect, support and knowledge. Honest work should be a basic human right, and we will continue trying to provide exactly that.
