Who We Are
Women Gro Initiative Uganda is a women-led organization empowering women, youth, and persons with disabilities to thrive through sustainable livelihoods, agribusiness, and environmental action.
We believe that when women grow, communities flourish.
From rural farm communities to urban centers, we equip women with the skills, resources, and opportunities to build resilient futures, improve household incomes, and contribute to food security across Uganda.
Our Programs

We train women and youth in eco-friendly farming, vertical gardening, and agribusiness management, enabling them to produce food in small spaces, earn income, and enhance food security.

Women Gro supports women-led green startups through mentorship, business incubation, and access to markets. We help turn ideas into income-generating ventures that create jobs and protect the planet.
