- ABOUT INUKA WOMEN FOUNDATION
Advancing rights. Strengthening resilience. Creating opportunities for women, girls and communities.
Inuka Women Foundation is a grassroots, women-led organization founded in 2021 by two Women Human Rights Defenders with a shared commitment to advancing social justice, equality and healing.
We work with teenage mothers, rural women, girls and youth, particularly those living in underserved communities, to address challenges affecting their health, safety, rights, livelihoods and participation in society.
Our work is rooted in the belief that communities have the knowledge, strength and potential to create meaningful change when they have access to the right support, resources and opportunities.
Through community-based programs, advocacy, awareness, skills development and partnerships, we work alongside communities to build healthier, more peaceful, inclusive and resilient futures.
To create a safe and inclusive space where survivors of violence, stigma, and discrimination can access free or affordable healthcare services, justice, and holistic support for their healing and empowerment.
A resilient, inclusive, and equitable society where every women enjoys their fundamental rights and freedoms.

- Our Community
Where we work
Rooted in the Rwenzori Region of Uganda
Inuka Women Foundation is rooted in the Rwenzori region of western Uganda, with our work based in Mpondwe-Lhubiriha Town Council, Kasese District.
We work alongside women, girls, teenage mothers, youth and rural communities, particularly those who experience barriers to healthcare, justice, economic opportunities and participation in community decision-making.
Our location in the Rwenzori region gives us a close connection to the communities we serve. We work to understand local realities, listen to community voices and support solutions that respond to the challenges and opportunities within these communities.
Our work focuses on strengthening health justice, peace and social cohesion, climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods, while creating opportunities for women, girls and young people to participate meaningfully in building stronger communities.
