AWARE UGANDA (Action for women and Awakening in Rural Environment) was formed in 1989 by a group of local rural women of Kaabong District in Karamoja region, a semi-desert region in the North East of Uganda, bordering South Sudan and Kenya.

• AWARE-Uganda is based in Kaabong Township, the administrative headquarters of Dodoth Sub-district, 72 kms from Kotido town.
• The organisation's activities at present are confined to the districts of the Karamoja region.
• Branch activities will expand to other parts of the district as more interest is generated in the wider region by those committed to AWARE-Uganda objectives.
