The Women’s Global Empowerment Fund works to provide opportunities to marginalized groups of women to better their situations through social, political, and economic programs. They offer business and leadership training, microloans, as well as startup health initiatives for underserved groups of women. Their focus is in Northern Uganda, but they have partners all over the world. They’ve managed to capture the attention of and partner with some well-known brands such as Urban Decay Cosmetics, Elieen Fisher, and Clif Bar. The organization also puts on a regular Drama Festival in Northern Uganda, where some of their members perform original stories depicting inequality issues they face such as land rights and violence.
