ARUWE Uganda

ARUWE (Action for Rural Women’s Empowerment) is a Non Profit working with vulnerable girls and Women.

[ARUWE Uganda @AruweU]

At ARUWE, we recognize that creating a conducive learning environment goes beyond providing access to classrooms. We support vulnerable girls and children with disabilities by improving access to safe, gender-responsive, and disability-friendly WASH facilities in schools.

[ARUWE Uganda @AruweU]

Today, we reflect on the importance of this year's #DayOfTheAfricanChild theme: "Ensuring universal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene for every child in Africa."

Access to WASH is essential to every child's health, education, and overall well-being.

This World Environment Day, ARUWE joins the call for climate action. Change does not begin somewhere else; it begins with each one of us.

Climate Action Begins with You: Act Now.

This evening I joined partners from NGOs (ARUWE), MGLSD(SAUTI), MoH, & the Fourth Estate at CBS to raise our voice against GBV targeting children this holiday.
Parents, let’s be present;our children are God-given treasures. Give them time, care, and a safe, friendly environment.

That’s why we walk the journey with them, providing start-up kits, mentorship, and linkages to financing. For some, this leads to employment. For others, it sparks the beginning of a small business.

We’ve seen the transformation up close. A young woman walks into a training unsure of herself, learns a practical skill, and begins to see new possibilities for her life.

But training alone isn’t enough.

Consent must be freely given, informed, and enthusiastic. It cannot be obtained when someone is under pressure, afraid, unconscious, intoxicated, or unable to make a clear decision.

[ARUWE Uganda @AruweU]

Sexual assault is any unwanted sexual act or behavior carried out without a person’s consent. It can include rape, attempted rape, unwanted touching, sexual harassment, or forcing someone to engage in sexual acts through intimidation, threats, manipulation, or coercion.

Throughout March, we’ve been engaging communities in Wakiso through GBV awareness activities focused on strengthening access to justice for women and girls.
Community members are receiving vital information on prevention and response alongside free legal consultations.

[ARUWE Uganda @AruweU]

Today, we celebrate the strength, leadership, and resilience of women and girls in our communities.

At ARUWE, we remain committed to advancing women’s rights, strengthening access to justice, and driving community action to close the gender gap.

The turn-up for the #REALFathersUganda Annual Convening today speaks volumes about the commitment to #positivefatherhood in Uganda. High-level discussions are currently underway on the future of the program @Mglsd_UG @MinofHealthUG @Prevent_Collab @ECDAction @hiltonfound

Emerging evidence shows improved family relationships, reduced intimate partner violence, and increased male involvement in caregiving and community leadership.

These outcomes demonstrate that change is achievable when fathers are supported.
