Watoto Church: Empowering Women Through Craftsmanship

At the heart of Kampala, Etuko Safaris partners with Watoto Church and its surrounding neighbourhoods to uplift women through sustainable enterprise. These women—many of whom are single mothers, survivors of trauma, or caretakers in underserved communities—are gifted artisans who create beautiful, handmade crafts and homeware items using traditional techniques.

Etuko curates special cultural tours that allow tourists to visit these women-led groups, learn their stories, and see firsthand the artistry behind each piece. When guests purchase these crafts, they aren’t just buying souvenirs—they’re directly investing in livelihoods, sending children to school, and enabling women to support their families with dignity.

“Every bracelet, basket, or beaded necklace tells a story of resilience. It’s not just art, it’s a bridge between worlds.”

This initiative reflects Etuko’s belief in purposeful travel—where every experience leaves a positive impact and builds lasting connections between guests and the communities they encounter.
