We work with communities in Uganda to accelerate the power and potential of every girl, young women and youth-preparing them as active leaders and social entrepreneurs creating sustainable social ventures and impact in Uganda. Imagine Her works with communities to accelerate the power and potential of women, girls, and youth as active leaders and social entrepreneurs creating sustainable solutions
within their communities. Our purpose is to accessibly provide young vulnerable women and youth with a robust innovation skillset and essential resources to create sustainable social ventures and social impact in Uganda. We envision a world where Ugandan women, girls, and youth are actively harnessing their potential, by initiating and advancing innovative and sustainable solutions to pressing needs in their communities. We work through community partnerships to target women and youth who are significantly marginalized and vulnerable due to poverty, the growing education-to-employment gap, geography, and social constructs of gender. The guiding principle of our model is that those we work with decide what they want to do, and choose the support and resources that they need to do it. We exist because Uganda has the 7th highest economic dependency rate in the world (the total number of dependents to the working population) at 92.3%, high youth unemployment (83%), and a lack of rights and access to resources for women. Youth and women in Uganda need extensive educational and economic support to unlock their potential, which in turn strengthens their families and communities. Without the skills and resources they need to overcome these barriers, women, and youth are trapped in a cycle, unable to access economic opportunities, quality education, and health care services.
