Support Her Roots, Her Rights Initiative

For over 4 years, Her Roots, Her Rights Initiative (HERI) has worked tirelessly to defend the rights of rural women — relying only on voluntary effort and community solidarity. However, the needs are growing, and the challenges are becoming bigger.

Why Your Support Matters

• We are Grassroots: We are from the communities we serve. We understand the culture, the language, and the real problems better than anyone else.
• We are Effective: We have already proven our impact — training thousands, protecting hundreds, and changing policies without major funding. Imagine what we can do with your support!
• We are Inclusive: We prioritize the women that others forget — women with disabilities, elderly women, indigenous minorities.
• We are Strategic: Our work aligns perfectly with global goals on human rights, climate justice, gender equality, and civic space.

What We Need

Your partnership and support will enable us to:

• Expand our Protection & Rapid Response system to reach more women at risk.
• Scale up Digital Security training to protect more activists online.
• Strengthen our Climate Justice work to help women adapt to changing environments.
• Formalize our structures to become a sustainable, permanent institution for women in Uganda.

By supporting HERI, you are not just funding a project; you are investing in the safety, dignity, and future of rural women and the next generation of Women Human Rights Defenders.
