About Us
Ngonzi Women Initiative is a community-driven women’s empowerment program founded on lived experience and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by women in rural Uganda. Rooted in Kyegegwa District, our initiative uplifts women by providing training, livelihood support, and sustainable agricultural solutions.
We were inspired by a simple truth:
Women hold communities together — and when given the right tools, they can transform their households and shape the future.
Community-led programs where women support and learn from one another
Our Story
Raised by strong women and shaped by the realities many Ugandan women face, our founder dreamed of creating opportunities that break cycles of poverty. The dream was big — sustainable farming and dairy development — but we began with what we had: chickens.
What started with 12 women, each receiving 20 chicks, has grown into a model of hope. Through training, feed support, chicken coops, and veterinary guidance, women have built thriving poultry micro-enterprises that nourish their families and generate income.
