Our Impact

At Mbeleni Foundation, we are proud to stand among indigenous, women-led organizations deeply committed to empowering refugees, women, youth, children, and their host communities in Uganda. Our work begins at the grassroots level, engaging directly with organized community groups, which we view as essential building blocks for creating lasting change and driving sustainable development.
We believe that true progress can only be achieved with communities, not for them. That’s why all our interventions are community-driven and grounded in research, action, and advocacy.
