Empower a Woman. Uplift a Family. Transform a Community.

“When you educate a woman, you educate a nation.”

🌍 Why Women’s Empowerment Matters

In Uganda, countless women—especially widows, single mothers, and young girls—struggle with unemployment, lack of education, and limited access to financial resources. Many are trapped in generational poverty, unable to provide for their children or themselves.

Umar Khan Charity Organization is committed to breaking this cycle by equipping women with skills, tools, and confidence to lead self-sufficient and dignified lives.
