A registered, women-led non-profit walking with the women and youth of Karamoja.
Purposeful Women Network is a women-led non-profit organization, established in 2024 and fully registered, holding a Certificate of Incorporation from URSB and registration in Uganda.
We work with women's groups across Karamoja to advance gender equality, protect children, build capacity, empower women, and grow resilient, peaceful societies. Our work also supports people living with HIV/AIDS through psychosocial support and improved access to health services.
We work alongside women, men and young people across Karamoja. Women make up 70% of our participants and men 30%, together with the youth who will shape the region's future.
To empower women economically and socially, safeguard children's rights, and promote just, healthy and peaceful communities through advocacy, service delivery and community-led action.
Thriving communities where women lead and are economically empowered, children are protected, and families are resilient to shocks.
