Humanitarian Action
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.
