Women Solidarity Initiative Uganda (WSI - Uganda) is a women-led not-for-profit organization founded in 2023 in Uganda

We are a women-led not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of women leaders in Uganda’s career space. Through leadership development, mentorship, career training, and advocacy, we equip women in institutions of higher learning and those in the early stages of their careers with the skills, networks, and opportunities needed to thrive. In addition to fostering professional growth, we champion women’s employment rights, advocating for equitable workplaces, fair labor policies, and inclusive career opportunities. Our programs are designed to not only support women in their academic and career journeys but also to drive systemic change that ensures a more just and supportive professional environment for all women. By investing in our program, you're not just supporting individual women; you're actively shaping the conditions for a more equitable and prosperous Uganda, fostering a pipeline of empowered female leaders who will drive innovation and create lasting change

These women have not only gained essential skills and clarity in their personal and professional lives, but are now confidently taking steps toward their goals, equipped with the tools and support they need to succeed.
