PeopleWeaver is a non–profit organization established to provide economic assistance, such as microcredit loans, to impoverished women in developing countries. Currently, our efforts are focused on the women refugees living in the Kyangwali Refugee Settlement in Uganda.
Although our primary focus is microcredit, aid has also included funding for food, schooling, supplies, medicine, communication tools, and two cooperative grain mills.
Mission
To improve the social and economic status of impoverished women.
Vision
To help impoverished women and their families generate more income, become community role models, and have more fulfilling lives.
Thank you.

To those who think the problems are too big to solve read the Starfish Story:
A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!”
The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved. (Adapted from The Star Thrower by Loren C. Eiseley)
