History and Background:
The Western Uganda FBO Network was established in 2013 as an interfaith umbrella organization. Our roots lie in the collaboration of diverse faith-based groups across western Uganda. These groups recognized the need for collective action to address social, economic, and environmental challenges in the region.

Our mission is to enhance the well-being of people in Uganda and beyond by promoting sustainable development, social justice, and interfaith cooperation.
Our core goals include:
Advocacy and Policy Development: We engage with policymakers, government agencies, and other stakeholders to advocate for policies that benefit marginalized communities. Our focus areas include health, education, gender equality, and environmental conservation.
Capacity Building: We empower FBOs through training, workshops, and networking opportunities. Strengthening organizational capacity enables FBOs to better serve their communities.
Adolescents’ Rights: We champion the rights of adolescents, ensuring their access to education, healthcare, and protection from harmful practices.
Environmental Stewardship: Our network encourages tree planting initiatives led by churches and mosques. We believe that caring for the environment is a shared responsibility.
Past and Current Activities: Over the years, we’ve achieved significant milestones:
Community Health Programs: We’ve conducted health awareness campaigns, provided medical services, and promoted hygiene practices.
Education Initiatives: Our network supports schools, scholarships, and vocational training programs. Education is a key driver of sustainable development.
Interfaith Dialogue: We facilitate dialogue among different religious groups, fostering understanding and collaboration.
Youth Empowerment: We organize skill-building workshops, mentorship programs, and entrepreneurship training for young people.
