Our Programs

At Crazy Love Africa, our programs focus on giving single mothers in Uganda the opportunity and resources to build sustainable, healthy lives.

Through micro-business grants, training, and community support, we help women turn their dreams into thriving enterprises. Our Crazy Love Africa sisters have launched sewing shops, small farms, dairies, and market businesses — each one creating income, dignity, and hope.

Beyond business, we believe in connection. Every month, our sisters gather for support circles where they learn artisan skills, receive business and health education, and find emotional encouragement within a loving community.

Together, we’re building a future where women lead with confidence, care for their families, and uplift entire villages.

Micro-Business Grants

Micro-business grants are one of the most effective ways to alleviate poverty and empower women.

Guided by our belief that every person has the right, will, and capacity to shape their own future, Crazy Love Africa provides women with a hand up — from poverty to possibility — through opportunity, training, and economic empowerment.

When women have the tools to build their own businesses, they create lasting change for themselves, their families, and their communities.

You can be part of that change.

Your support helps fund small business grants that give women the opportunity to dream, grow, and lead.

Give a Grant — Change a Life

Sisterhood Support Circles

We train and support our sisters through community cooperative groups, where women learn, grow, and thrive together.

Our Sisterhood Support Circles meet weekly, creating both a safe, uplifting space for single mothers and a proven model that inspires motivation and success. These gatherings include training and mentorship from health and business professionals, artisans, and counselors — offering practical skills and emotional encouragement.

At Crazy Love Africa, we believe community is the key to unlocking the strength, courage, and hope within every woman.

Youth Sponsorship

Crazy Love Africa provides educational sponsorships for the children of women participating in our programs. Every child — from nursery school through vocational training, secondary school, and university — is given the chance to learn and dream beyond circumstance.

Each student is matched with a dedicated sponsor who covers their school fees and often builds a personal connection through letters and updates throughout the year.

Education opens doors — and you can help open one.

Become a sponsor today and change a child’s story through the gift of education and hope.

Artisan Fair-Trade Crafts

Crazy Love Africa celebrates the artistry and industriousness of the extraordinary women of the Tooro Kingdom in Uganda. These talented artisans create beautiful, colorful jewelry, baskets, and textiles — each one a true work of art and a story of resilience.

Revenue from every purchase directly funds our programs, meaning the women’s creativity and hard work are helping to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty.

We provide ongoing artisan training so our sisters can continue to learn new techniques, refine their craft, and expand their opportunities.

As a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation, Crazy Love Africa is committed to all nine Fair Trade principles — ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for both people and the planet.

Crazy Love Africa Ambassadors

Every year, Crazy Love Africa leads Adult and Youth Ambassador Trips to Uganda — unforgettable journeys that connect hearts across continents.

These experiences invite participants to be fully immersed in Ugandan culture and to embrace the solidarity model of serving with — not for — others. Ambassadors spend time in the villages where our sisters live and work, sharing in daily life, creativity, and community.

Each trip is transformative, filled with adventure, joy, and meaningful connection. Participants become part of the Crazy Love Africa family while helping to advance our mission of empowerment and hope.

Interested in traveling with us? Learn how to join our next Ambassador Trip and experience the beauty, resilience, and connection of Uganda firsthand.

Making a difference

“I have witnessed such a powerful transformation in each of my sisters through their participation in our Sisterhood Support Circles. The best way to describe it is a renewed sense of joy, confidence, and happiness.

They are free to be themselves — to lead one another toward fulfilled lives built on friendship and community. They discover the strength within that they once thought was lost.

Together, our sisters guide each other with courage and hope, becoming leaders in their communities.”
