Our Commitment

We are a proud grassroots organization committed to empowering women and girls through proven wellness and meditation programs, equipping them with the resilience, confidence, and mental strength to pursue education, achieve financial independence, and lead with impact.

Humanitarian Action

Rebuilding lives with dignity and resilience

Uganda hosts over 1.6 million refugees, making it the largest refugee-hosting nation in Africa. Many refugee women and girls arrive in settlements traumatized by conflict, gender-based violence, and displacement, with limited access to mental health services, education, and economic opportunities.

AWAGO’s Humanitarian Action programme helps vulnerable women in refugee or stateless situations rebuild their lives through Transcendental Meditation, community wellness circles, and economic empowerment, addressing trauma recovery, self-sufficiency, and social integration.

Patience is a pediatrician at City Medical Center. The priceless smile on her face clearly shows the peace and joy TM has brought into her life. “Caring for toddlers is an amazing task and at the same time overwhelming.”

The TM practice has improved my emotional state from worries to joys as I give service to these toddlers under my care,” she said. She expressed gratitude to the AWAGO team for introducing the TM program at their facility.

Birungi Katherine
Registered Nurse, Medik Hospital
I am Birungi Katherine, a Registered Nurse at Medik Hospital. Since I learned Transcendental Meditation (TM) with my team, work has become much easier for me. I feel calmer, more energetic, and even younger!

My team is more cooperative, and I no longer receive complaints from patients. Our overall performance has improved, and I’m truly grateful for this program and the wonderful trainers who guided us.”
