Changing Lives Uganda is a women-led indigenous grassroots non-profit organization founded in 2017 by a group of seven strong and ambitious women to promote a healthy, wealthy and democratic living through skilling and capacity building, sensitization, empowerment and addressing injustice.

In Uganda, very many people of different ages, races, gender and economic statuses are treated differently with those on the disadvantaged side having either less or completely no opportunities to have a better life socially, economically and politically. This kind of situation makes the disadvantaged to face very many problems such as injustice, increasing poverty, poor health, unemployment and lack of education services among the many problems. As Changing Lives Uganda, we aim at creating a better life for such people without any discrimination. Changing lives Uganda carries out activities that meet the needs and challenges of those people who are disadvantaged socially, politically and economically and makes them better people at an individual basis.
