WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
The Women’s Empowerment sector provides opportunities to address gender inequality and inequity in Uganda. According to national statistics, Uganda has passed laws and policies that accord equal status to women and men and has attained gender parity in primary and secondary school enrollment. Nevertheless, the country has yet to overcome gender inequality in access to services and opportunities, such as employment and financial services; this is due in part to social norms that serve to reinforce the subordinate status of women and downplay their contributions and potential for participation in the country's development.
The sector supports women and girls in accessing quality education, health care, dignified work, ownership rights for property, technology and equal participation in political and economic decision making which leads to social, economic and environmental sustainability.
This sector provides participants with hands-on experience and increases knowledge on the challenges women and girls face in developing countries and how to sustainably address them.

By contributing to Women’s Empowerment projects, you will support vulnerable women and their families in achieving better livelihoods. You will gain hands on experience working with local Ugandan communities who are already fighting for women’s rights in an effort to address the challenges of gender inequality. Participants who work on women’s empowerment projects will help vulnerable women and their families alleviate poverty and enable them to create sustainable livelihoods.
Community Based Projects in Women Empowerment

Since 2017, ABCCA noticed the increased infant and child mortality rate due to health challenges women face while giving birth. Due to many challenges associated women and their children below the age of three years, the organization saw it fit to start up.
‘The Survival program.” Survival program exists to rescue, nature and disciple children below the age of 3 years. Its major focus is to ensure that babies do not die prematurely. The program ensures that they attain good recommended health standards that facilitate proper holistic child development. This is achieved through ensuring: good feeding, breast feeding, immunization, family planning and safe motherhood. Implementation of the survival program started in September 2019. Nonetheless, access to health foods and good nutrition remain an issue.
