THEORY OF CHANGE (ToC)

Women and girls with disabilities in Uganda face significant obstacles to accessing healthcare, education, and social integration, issues that are intensified by negative societal attitudes and financial constraints.

Access to essential healthcare services is often limited, leaving them vulnerable to health complications. Furthermore, the organization provides critical healthcare support and adaptive tools to ensure that vital services are accessible.

Additionally, we addresses these challenges by offering scholarships and vocational training, empowering women and girls to gain the skills needed for economic independence. By providing financial assistance for education and training programs, UDWA opens pathways to inclusive opportunities. Through initiatives that promote awareness and combat discrimination and violence, UDWA fosters an environment that values inclusion and active participation. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the quality of life for disabled women and girls, enabling them to engage fully in their communities and contribute to a more equitable society.
