Who we are

Allied Youth Initiative – Uganda (AYI – Uganda) is a youth-led not-for-profit organization that empowers young people’s (especially adolescent girls and young women – AGYW) feminist and rights-based leadership on issues of health equity, human rights and gender justice, and sustainable livelihood in Uganda and beyond.

We strive to ensure that young people have the information, capacity, and opportunities to inform and lead the development and implementation of programmes and policies that impact their lives and are recognized as skilled and aware leaders of social change.
