Skilled craftswomen creating sustainable futures

The Monique Richards Foundation was established with a vision to transform lives through sustainable economic opportunities and education. Our journey began with a simple observation: the incredible talent and determination of Ugandan women creating beautiful crafts despite limited resources.

Today, we work with over 50 artisans, providing training, resources, and market access for their handcrafted products. Our impact extends beyond economic empowerment – we're building strong communities and creating educational opportunities for the next generation.
