Uganda Association of University women - Kampala

Welcome to Uganda Association of University women portal, we are a non-profit organisation that was founded in 1956 by Mary Stuart, wife of Bishop Stuart. Mary Stuart was by then lecturing at Makerere University and was perturbed by the low numbers of women enrolling for University education at Makerere. She therefore became a strong advocate for increased enrolment of women at all levels of education.

UAUW realizes that the overwhelming majority of Ugandans and in particular, women, continue to live in conditions of extreme poverty characterized by lack of access to education and health care, food insecurity, poor housing and general low standard of living. It was therefore formed with a strong commitment to promoting national development with a special emphasis on enhancing equal

opportunities in development so as to ensure gender equity and equality. Cognizant of the fact that education, both formal and informal, underpins effective change the association encourages graduate women to use their expertise to bring about change, with particular reference to the education of girls and adult literacy.

It can be noted that the education of girls in the African continent has been lacking behind for ages and with the help of a voice like this, hopefully, together we can make a difference for a life or a few to make a change.
To make a change and also be part of the growing changes, you can go to our member page and see how you can be part of this revolution. You can also visit our services page to see what we can offer.
