AFRICAN WOMENS AID NETWORK 

We work with the most disadvantaged Women & Children in Uganda & Kenya. Most of our work is in the cities and mostly in the slum areas. We try to Empower Women through self-help assistance projects. Since 2016 we have been concentrating on the rescue and rehabilitation of street orphans, girls and boys in the city of Kampala in Uganda. We provide a safe family style home food and education.
