WomenFirst is a non-profit organisation, which provides business management training and start up funds to women and groups, at accessible locations throughout Uganda and Kenya. In helping women improve their entrepreneurial abilities, we equip them with the skills to create there own enterprise, which in turn gives the women the capability to feed and send their children to school. Women have been marginalized in Africa and we believe this is one of the contributing factors which keep Africa in poverty. WomenFirst seeks to address much of the imbalance of the resource distribution in Uganda and Kenya by empowering women to support their families and communities.

Economic Empowerment: 

WomenFirst provides low cost basic business management training to women groups at accessible locations on regular basis.   This helps the women improve their entrepreneurial skills.  WomenFirst guides and evaluates business ideas that women suggest before they are approved.  WomenFirst staff works alongside the women to do a simple but comprehensive research on viability, legal requirements and likely effects of the business on women’s lives and the environment. WomenFirst then provides start-up funds to the women.
