About The Chapter

Girls for Girls Uganda started in 2017 when global Co-Founder Allen Asiimwe returned from Harvard where the vision had been born. Our mentorship Program focuses on empowering women and girls between 15 years to those in their golden years (40+) with the Courage, Vision and Skills they require to thrive, through leadership. We use mentorship circles where mentors are attached to mentees to share their stories, experiences and learnings from real life issues that are escalating barriers for women in leadership.

Our Achievements

Since 2017, Girls for Girls Uganda has run approximately 180 cohorts of the mentorship program, reaching 6,000+ women and girls directly. These include cohorts in partnership with reputable corporate institutions like Banks (Post Bank, Equity Bank, KCB Bank, Housing Finance Bank), Telecoms like Airtel Uganda and MTN Uganda, TotalEnergies Uganda, Ernst and Young Uganda, Government agencies like the Ministry of Water and Environment, Non Government Organisations like Concern for the Girl Child, Brac International, Care International. G4G Uganda has also run cohorts targeting marginalized and hard to reach communities in Uganda for example, school outreaches in Kisoro district, special cohorts of women with disabilities, young girls living with HIV Aids, women in the stone quarries among other unique circles and groups.

Our Target

Annually, G4G Uganda aims to graduate 1,000 women and girls through the mentorship program and train 250 new mentors – creating a pipeline of leaders. This contributes to our global community goal of reaching 1 million mentees by 2030.

G4G has taught me never to settle for less. I have learnt that I am full of potential, knowledge and courage. I will never back down from putting myself out there as I should never settle for less.
