Empowering Teenage and single mothers

In the heart of Omugo, Terego district, Uganda where life’s struggles weigh heavily on the shoulders of single and teenage mothers, hope often seems distant. Many of these women were once young girls with dreams, but circumstances led them down a different path one of early motherhood, financial struggles, and an endless fight for survival.

Without stable incomes, they cannot afford even the smallest loans to start businesses. Banks and lenders demand collateral something they do not have. Without opportunities, they watch helplessly as history repeats itself. Their daughters, trapped in the same cycle of poverty, become vulnerable to teenage pregnancies. Some fall into the hands of men who offer small tokens of help money for food, school fees, or just a promise of a better tomorrow only to leave them with a burden too heavy for their young shoulders. Your single support will uplift entire village

The group has opened savings box. With your support, we can reach more women, protect young girls from teenage pregnancies, and create a future where no mother has to choose between feeding her children and keeping them in school.

Jane: I bought stocks, could afford three meals a day. My twins, once frail from malnutrition, now had the energy to play and laugh.
Jesca: This money saved my life, no one has ever done this for me. Now, I believe I can give my daughter a future

World Action Fund, in support with generous donors like you, is actively working to restore mobility for individuals with mobility challenges and disabilities in Uganda. Through a series of initiatives, we provide essential mobility devices such as wheelchairs, trikes, and prostheses to those in need, particularly in the West Nile region of Uganda. These efforts aim to enhance mobility independence and improve the quality of life for individuals who would otherwise be unable to access essential services or work due to mobility challenges. Previously we have repaired 120 mobility devices using own resources, we are reaching out to you to join us once again.

According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, approximately 12.4% of Uganda’s population lives with some form of disability. This percentage translates to roughly 2.1 million individuals. Disabilities are more prevalent among women (15%) than men (10%), and higher in rural areas (15%) compared to urban areas (12%).

Our donated funds are dedicated 100% towards support of vulnerable communities/persons.

Our volunteers take on different tasks like fundraising or coordinating and supervising programs.
