Rural Women & Girls Empowerment Forum (RWEFO)

Doreen Kabugho, Programs Coordinator at Rural Women & Girls Empowerment Forum (RWEFO), focuses on economic empowerment, gender-based violence advocacy, and reproductive health rights in Uganda. The Giving Joy grant is targeting 15 marginalized women, mainly survivors of gender-based violence, economic injustice, and sexual violence in remote areas along Lake Albert in Western Uganda. The initial 15 will be trained and equipped with modern skills of catching silver fish from the lake, marketing, post harvest handling and storage to fetch high prices. Profits will support sending their children to school, addressing basic household needs, and enhancing women's health and living conditions.
