Currently the capacity of Women in relation to participation and empowerment is low. ALOWA is committed to ensuring that women in Uganda have access to relevant information, training, events and funding opportunities, and to providing meaningful and relevant support to women’s groups.
ALOWA human Rights work aims at developing the capacity of young women to engage more actively and effectively in the protection of women’s rights and personal integrity; and take a lead in the transformation of patriarchal environments that sustain discrimination, oppression and gender inequalities.
ALOWA organizes training Sessions titled ‘One Man Can end Domestic violence’. When women are coming to attend meetings and other ALOWA activities, they are required to come with their husbands. Thus ALOWA uses this opportunity to engage men to prevent violence.
ALOWA organizes roundtables on women’s participation in Uganda. Roundtables discuss several issues affecting the progress towards women empowerment in Uganda.
All in One Women’s Association (ALOWA) is founded on the collective goal to enhance, promote, and foster the social, economic, cultural and political well-being of Women in Uganda. As a national organization representing women since 2004, ALOWA’s mandate is to achieve equality for all women in Uganda. ALOWA is actively involved with partner organizations at the local, National and across the globe towards this goal to end the discrimination against women.
We focus on women's social insertion in the new market economy in order to ensure their access to new income through own business creation. Support of the initiatives for enterprise creation will be provided through the delivery of individual business tutorship and consulting, managerial training and National and international market networking. A special focus on the sustainability of micro-projects and the mechanisms to overpass gender barriers in business opportunities will be made...
ALOWA empowers women to fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS and enable them to involve fully in development activities to meet the millennium development goals. ALOWA empowers women and young girls economically and educationally to enable them participate in development activities, initiate the community to advocate for support and education of girls, to increase the enrollment of girls in the school, to change the lives of poor women and their families through community save and credit schemes, revolving fund provision in order to empower their households economically.
We also organize several pieces of training geared towards addressing social, economic and political injustices. The pieces of training target many categories of women including those living with HIV/AIDs, those with Disabilities, rural poor Women and young girls in Schools. Training usually is organized to promote women’s participation. Themes of training include networking and leadership, decision making, community organizing, advocacy and lobbying, communication, participation, financial management and entrepreneurship among others.
ALOWA enables women in Uganda to develop a common understanding of the importance of the right of access to information, lobbying, advocacy, and Networking. ALOWA enables Women to explore mechanisms for promoting transparency, participatory decision-making process, and political participation.
