Who We Are

About Mamwa Empowerment Foundation

Mamwa Empowerment Foundation is a non-partisan, community-based organization committed to uplifting vulnerable women, youth, and marginalized groups in Uganda. We believe in unity, dignity, and sustainable development as the foundation for building stronger and more resilient communities.

We were established to address the challenges of uncoordinated community efforts, limited opportunities for women and youth, and lack of inclusive development programs. Through collective action, Mamwa Empowerment Foundation provides a platform for empowerment, advocacy, and sustainable solutions that create visible and lasting impact on the ground.
