About US

Innovation on wheels is a Non-For-Profit organisation, founded in 2021 by Three Ugandan women to support, protect disadvantaged rural women and empower them to unleash their fullest potential and create positive change in their communities as change-makers and embrace social entrepreneurship.
Innovation On Wheels operate in rural areas of Uganda and in particular in Mpigi district.
