Meet our Board

From R-L: Mrs. Edith Nandaha (Co-Director), Ms. Samali Namaganda (Co-Director), Mr. Charles Namaisi (Secretary & Community Publicist), Ms. Doreen Maimba (Accountant), Ms. Ayida Wamalugu (Assistant Operations Supervisor), Mr. Ashim Yazid (Operations Supervisor)

BUWI was started by Mrs. Edith Mukera and Ms. Samali Namaganda because they noticed an increase in young pregnancies and disempowered women in Bukonde. Mrs. Edith Mukera had already been holding counseling events and teaching young girls how to sew. Samali, on the other hand, was already financially sponsoring young girls to continue their education. After discussing their worries and perspectives with other members in the community and the local council office, they decided to combine their individual efforts into one project which was BUWI.
