I am the chairperson of UCCD. When I went to my village Omee in Amugu sub-county, Alebtong District/Uganda, for personal income generating activities in 2010, I discovered that women of my community were disadvantaged economically, socially with no self-governess structure. Women work far longer than men and lack control over resources. I conceived the idea to form an association to promote their values and empower them. I shared the idea with my three friends who joined me in the adventure. In 2011 the association was registered under local government Amugu sub-county. In 2013 the association was transformed into a local NGO and registered under National NGO board in Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I recognize that women empowerment is so complex, that a single actor can not be in the position to address. Seeking regional and international development strategies is of paramount importance.
