We empower Women and Girls in Uganda
We provide women and girls with spaces, tools, and resources to enable them to participate effectively in individual and community development processes, thus strengthening the economic resilience of individuals, their families, and communities to lead successful and dignified lives.
According to the United Nations, 49% of people living in sub-Saharan Africa and 40% of people leaving in Northern Uganda live on less than $1.25/day. That’s not enough to pay for food, medicine, proper shelter or schooling for their children. Worldwide, 58 million primary school-age children are not in school; 60% are girls. Where we work in Uganda, public school is not free, and poverty is the leading cause of children not attending school. Learn more
