We are a nonprofit in Bukedea District in the Eastern Region of Uganda. We provide education and training to people living on less than $1/day to help facilitate their self-generated development in education, income generation, health, human rights, gender sensitivity, civic participation, and more. Our programs include a vocational institute for skilling, Martha’s Palace guest house as a residence for our guests, a Teenage Center and medical clinic, a farm, and Village projects initiated and tailored to the needs of the communities.

The Foundation works with a broad aim of enhancing community efforts to promote socioeconomic empowerment as well as leadership and mentorship for effective decision-making among women and young people in the rural communities of the Eastern Region of Uganda, particularly Bukedea District. Martha Agwang Foundation works to ensure that women, young people, and community members at large can realize their full potential and develop innovative solutions to their problems as individuals within their communities. The MA foundation believes that Education, training, mentorship, economic empowerment, and information sharing are very fundamental to the well-being and holistic development of rural communities. That’s why the MA foundation works to provide hands-on skills and start-up stools to youths, women, and people with disabilities as a means of empowerment and ensuring that people living in rural communities live a quality life coupled with dignity, equality, and the ability to sustain their livelihoods.
