Cultural Tenets
Women First, Impact-Obsessed
Ensure every woman and girl has the mental strength, resilience, and economic opportunity to lead her own life with confidence.
AWAGO uplifts women by fostering mental well-being, resilience, and economic empowerment through meditation. We listen to women we serve, recognizing their strength to lead their own lives and communities. Our every decision prioritizes impact— if it doesn’t drive meaningful change, we don’t pursue it.
Resilience & Adaptability
Provide every woman with the tools she needs to stay strong, adapt to challenges, and create new opportunities for herself and her community.
We believe in self-development. Through Transcendental Meditation (TM) and wellness techniques, we help women enhance inner strength, mental clarity, and emotional stability. Our programs support them in adapting to change, mitigating risks, and creating opportunities. Village/Youth Savings and Loan Associations (V/YSLAs), healthcare centers, schools, and women’s collectives serve as key platforms for empowerment and community-building.
Every Woman Counts
Stand for every woman’s right to make her own choices, be heard, and take charge of her future.
We take pride in fiercely safeguarding women’s rights and opportunities. Through a seven-step process, we recognize each woman’s journey, empowering her to transform her family and community.
Scalable Impact Through Partnerships
We believe we are stronger together. By joining forces, we create lasting change for women and girls everywhere.
AWAGO thrives on partnerships. Since 2011, we have worked with Ugandan organizations, government agencies, and social movements to expand access to mental health support and amplify women’s voices. By working together, we empower marginalized groups to lead, advocate, and drive lasting change.
