Risen Sustainable Development (RSD)
 We are an agency working with youth and women who are
from vulnerable communities. RSD is registered charity in Uganda No.206704. This initiative
started in 2014 to help communities, work together to better respond to their needs of youth
and women vulnerable communities in Uganda. This was established to achieve stable micro
businesses and quality of projects (group concept), increased action for youth and women, and
influencing decision makers on policy issues affecting youth and women to empower them
through micro-credit loans, nurture the character and leadership of youth in the schools,
Universities and community

Object 1 Activities
Increased proportion of women and youths with sustainable income generating enterprises
- Training women in business skills and saving culture. 500 women shall be trained for five days within the period of five years. Each year we plan to train 100 women in business skills and saving culture. This will enable women to start sustainable business and create a saving culture. It will also enable them to borrow money and invest in their business be able to pay the loan. The training shall be conducted with experienced professionals in small scale business management
- Train women and youths in social enterprises (counter book making, soap making, poultry). 30 women and youth groups shall be trained in social enterprises depending on the market demand. We propose to train groups in income generating activity of their choice (book making, bee keeping, poultry, soap making, Vaseline/jelly making etc). This will help to create jobs for unemployed youths and women and increase their income.
- Conduct training for women groups in leadership and group dynamics. As people come together there will always be conflicts in leadership and training will target such cases and they can be managed. The target people will be the group leaders and training shall be for three days
- Provision of low interest/ friendly loans to women through their groups, for women with small business we shall provide loans with low interest rates and grace period of 3 months before starting to pay back the loan. The interest rate charged will be less than the central bank interest rates. This will enable women to perform better in their business. The high interest rates charged by the commercial banks are not friendly to small scale business and people with no security to give to the Banks. The provision will enable them to have access to capital.
- Mentoring, coaching and monitoring women and youths in business: monitoring visits shall be done to mentor the saving groups and follow up on loan/business performance. The monitoring visits shall be done on weekly to different groups.
