Championing Equality: The Work of Action for the Woman’s Pride Initiative
At Action for the Woman’s Pride Initiative (AWPI), we are committed to empowering marginalized and vulnerable women and girls in Uganda. Founded to address the challenges of limited access to reproductive health, legal services, and economic opportunities, AWPI works tirelessly to create a more just and equitable society.
