About AWARE Uganda

AWARE Uganda

AWARE Uganda is based in Kaabong in the remote region of Karamoja.

Since 1989, founder Grace Loumo has been working with an ever-expanding team of women to empower the women of the region and eduate them about their rights.

AWARE has made a huge impact in Kaabong, increasing food security through the establishment of an orchard and garden, and improving the socio-economic status of women through income-generating projects such as tailoring, poultry and goat-rearing, mini-farms and bee keeping, as well as improving health through HIV awareness programmes.
