Today, we bring you something extra special – a heartfelt video message from two of our instructors, Gabriel Obwoya(Sewing Instructor) and Daniel Comboni (Computer Instructor).
Together, they share their gratitude to God, to our founders, and to you – our amazing donor community – for making Empowering Ugandans possible.
These two men come from very different journeys, but they are united in one purpose: equipping Ugandans with marketable skills that create brighter futures.
A Word from Gabriel – Sewing Instructor
Gabriel’s journey from security guard to head sewing instructor is a story of resilience and God’s timing. In the video, Gabriel thanks Yvonne and Jeff for giving him the chance to discover and develop his talents.
“I am helping people do more than get a job. I am helping them to create jobs with Empowering Ugandans,” Gabriel says.
Through his classes, Gabriel is training young and old women to become self-reliant tailors and entrepreneurs. He sees the ripple effect every day as his students leave with confidence and new opportunities.
A Word from Daniel – Computer Instructor
Daniel, once a scholarship student himself, now teaches others how to thrive in today’s digital world. He reflects on how Empowering Ugandans opened doors for him – and now he is opening doors for others.
“God has blessed me to always have a job,” Daniel shares, “and I see the same blessing happening to my students. They gain computer skills, and with them, they gain new life.”
From students who went straight from class to employment, to others who entered university because of their training, Daniel’s testimony shows the transformative power of education.
Together for a Brighter Future
In the video, both Gabriel and Daniel stand side by side, expressing their gratitude to God, to Jeff & Yvonne, and to you – the Empowering Ugandans family.
They remind us that Empowering Ugandans is not just about skills like sewing or computer literacy, but about a bigger vision:
Discipleship that nurtures faith
Training that restores dignity
Opportunities that break the cycle of poverty
Your Role in This Story
None of this would be possible without you. Your generosity fuels Gabriel and Daniel’s work. Every stitch in the sewing studio, every click in the computer lab, every word of encouragement in discipleship – it all flows from your faithful giving.
Together, we are not just teaching skills.
We are:
✅ Creating jobs
✅ Growing leaders
✅ Building brighter futures for Uganda
🙏 Thank you for standing with us in this mission. As Gabriel and Daniel so beautifully say in the video, your support is allowing God to work through Empowering Ugandans to transform lives – one student, one skill, one story at a time.
Thank you!
