About Us
Social Innovation on Wheels is a grassroots/community-based development organization based in Uganda, co-founded by rural Ugandan women who are dedicated to empowering disadvantaged rural women and girls.
Setting rural women and men up for success involves addressing a range of factors related to education, economic opportunities, and social empowerment.
Our mission is to set rural women and men up for success by providing them sustainable access to realize their fullest potential.

Our current temporary structure does not favour the changing weather conditions during workshop/trainings and when it rains or the heat becomes overwhelming we have to reduce workshop training lengths. A majority of participants have children with them during the workshops. In order to overcome this we have a vacant piece of land available and intend to construct a permanent structure fully equipped with resources for learning without having to reduce training lengths due to the weather conditions and have an enjoyable session. Help us build the Women’s Centre with your donation!

UPDATE: WEGANDA REIMAGINING WORKSHOP
Intensive Participatory Workshops
Watch this video to understand one of the intensive participatory workshops held in the rural district of Mpigi called the Weganda Reimagining Workshop.
Uganda faces an alarming 82% youth unemployment rate, which is one of the highest in the country.
We're dedicated to partnering with rural women and girls, helping them discover their full potential, and improving their living conditions. It's about empowering them to make informed decisions within their households.
Take Nambasa Flavia, for example, a resilient 24-year-old with limited education, scarce opportunities, and minimal experience in a narrow labor market. Compounding her challenges, cultural norms keep her from competing in higher-paying male-dominated fields, like construction, truck driving, and boda boda riding.
Many women, like Nambasa, find themselves trapped in low-quality, precarious jobs due to a lack of skills, quality employment, and societal expectations regarding their caregiving roles.
By providing them with the right skills through apprenticeships, we create opportunities for them to access better employment prospects and transform their lives for the better.
