Selling handmade baskets to support Ugandan families doesn’t seem like a big deal, but for the women receiving the funds, it’s life changing.
After spending her 2019 spring semester in the Semester Along the Nile program, Katie Stringer, a graduating senior in global resource systems, looked for ways to expand market opportunities for the women of the Tusubila crafts group in Uganda.
