Economic Empowerment & Gender Equality
Building lasting incomes through farming, savings and enterprise — and advancing equality for women and girls.
We empower women economically and socially, safeguard children's rights, and build just, peaceful communities — through advocacy, service delivery and community-led action.
Purposeful Women Network is a registered, women-led non-profit working alongside women and youth across Karamoja. We believe lasting change grows from within communities — so we walk with people, not ahead of them.
Every programme is built on one belief: when a woman thrives, her whole community thrives.
Building lasting incomes through farming, savings and enterprise — and advancing equality for women and girls.
Supporting women to take their rightful place in community decision-making and leadership.
Women-led dialogue that settles disputes and builds lasting peace between communities.
Preventing gender-based violence and walking with survivors toward safety, justice and healing.
Improving health through sanitation, hygiene and nutrition — including psychosocial support and better health services for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Building resilient livelihoods — protecting land, livestock and families as the climate changes.
Purposeful Women Network is a women-led non-profit, established in 2024 and fully registered in Uganda. We work with women's groups across Karamoja to advance gender equality, protect children, build skills, and grow resilient, peaceful communities.
Through farming, savings, leadership and peace-building — driven by the community itself — we turn shared purpose into real, lasting change.
