We’re excited to celebrate an extraordinary decade of partnership with DECJUBA that has transformed communities across India, Bangladesh, Senegal and Uganda.
For me, to be great, it means you have to have big dreams and most importantly you have to have people who want to come with you to achieve those dreams…we exist to support incredible partners to do what they do best, create a sustainable change, drive better outcomes and impact this one life that we all have.
– Tania Austin, Owner, DECJUBA
In India, DECJUBA has championed women’s political leadership, supporting Elected Women Representatives to run for local village councils. These women are now driving transformative change in healthcare, education, sanitation, food security, and gender equality.
Across Bangladesh, DECJUBA’s investment has mobilised rural communities to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals at the grassroots level – addressing poverty, hunger, gender inequality, and child marriage.
In Africa, the impact has been profound. DECJUBA has supported eight Epicentre communities across Senegal and Uganda. Six communities – Namarel, Dodel, Mpal, Dahra, Diokul, and Mpigi – have achieved self-reliance, now having the leadership, skills and resources to continue their development independently. Oruka will reach this milestone next year, and DECJUBA has just begun supporting Amuru Epicentre.
Walking alongside communities
The DECJUBA team hasn’t just invested from afar but have also witnessed transformation firsthand through immersion experiences in India and Uganda. To amplify impact, they’ve created customised collections with us and responded immediately with emergency funding when COVID-19 threatened communities in India.
At the heart of this milestone is the incredible DECJUBA team. From head office to every store, they’ve been true champions of this partnership. Their passion and creativity have not only raised vital funds but have inspired thousands of customers to believe in what’s possible when business and purpose come together. Together, we’ve reached over 10 million lives – from empowering women leaders in India to drive change in their communities, to enabling women to give birth safely in Uganda, to ensuring families can access clean drinking water. It’s a remarkable testament to what’s possible through shared vision and commitment.
Beyond the numbers, it’s the spirit of DECJUBA that shines through. Time and again, their team has shown up with generosity, kindness and a genuine desire to create lasting change. Ten years of partnership is an extraordinary milestone, and we are so deeply grateful – they are more than partners, they are part of The Hunger Project family.
