About UWEAL

Uganda Women Entrepreneurs Association Limited (UWEAL) was established in 1987. Currently reaches out to 2.5 million women in business in Uganda. It works in 3 core program areas: strengthening women owned enterprises, promoting networking and marketing linkages for business women, advocating for policies that create an enabling environment for women to compete favorably in business.

UWEAL has spearheaded the transformation of the landscape that gives women in business a voice to show case that women are as capable to start and run a business as much as men. The association is currently firmly placed in the private sector to assist and provide the necessary support and guidance to women in business and to advocate for favorable policies through which women entrepreneurs can flourish.

Empowering Women Entrepreneurs to create Wealth

UWEAL has invested heavily in developing and strengthening the entrepreneurial capabilities of women in Uganda and providing a platform to create strategic local, regional and international business linkages, access business information, markets, resources and expertise in a bid to help them build competitive businesses.

Incubation Center
