Rangelands Interventions for Women Empowerment–Africa (RIWE_AFRICA) is an indigenous Non-Governmental organization committed to transforming the lives of Pastoralist Women, Youth, and children in Uganda’s Cattle Corridor. Founded in 2019, the Organization addresses the unique challenges of underserved rural pastoral populations. RIWE_AFRICA promotes sustainable development through a justice-centered and layered services model anchored in four thematic areas: Health, Livelihood, Education, and Environment.

Our interventions focus on dismantling socio-economic and cultural barriers that hinder the well-being of pastoralist women, youth, and children, while promoting inclusive access to essential services, economic empowerment, and social justice, particularly for women, youth, and children

RIWE_AFRICA primarily targets Pastoralist Women, Youth, and children. Among these, special focus is put on vulnerable sub-populations, including Widows, those living with HIV, orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs), Survivors of violence, and Persons with disabilities (PWDs).
