We Effect (Uganda)

We Effect in Uganda works through local partners to support sustainable rural development, adequate housing, women’s rights, gender equality, and youth entrepreneurship. Our Kampala-based office is actively involved in establishing housing cooperatives to improve access to decent homes, mobilizing grassroots efforts, and influencing national decision-makers. Additionally, we have contributed to a report on human rights in Uganda submitted to the UN Human Rights Council.

Our initiatives focus on providing people living in poverty, especially women and youth, with access to financial services like savings, loans, and insurance. This support aims to enable business startups and investments, improve living conditions, and promote fair-priced insurance for those without social security networks.

Our work also assist farmers in enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability by supporting small-scale producers. Our efforts include promoting resilient livelihoods, increasing food security, and encouraging youth involvement in agribusiness. A key part of our strategy is fostering a positive shift in agribusiness attitudes among young people while focusing on empowering women in rural communities.
