Our aim is to empower the youth and women through character development, agricultural and vocational skills and money management.

Scope of Our Work

YAWE has so far undertaken initiatives in the areas of business and financial literacy, savings program and agriculture in the districts of Buikwe and Jinja (Eastern Uganda) working with the youth and women who together comprises over 80 percent of Ugandan population this is done through our famous approach of collaboration, learning, shared accountability and advocacy. YAWE enjoys a rich experience of working in the diverse socio-cultural environment of Uganda and extensive networking with the District & local Governments, civil society institutions, other community-based organizations and media.

Our Target groups

We work mainly with the less privileged in social and economic endeavors in rural and parry-urban eastern Uganda. Its target groups include women and the youth, the youth alone constitutes over 80 percent of the Ugandan population according to the recently conducted census. Amongst these we lookout for communities where the majority are still living in devastating conditions and deprived of the very basic necessities of life. In the future, YAWE desires to include the urban populace living in slums and other such areas that can potentially benefit from its poverty alleviating programs and projects.
