ABOUT OUR FOLU
Fountain of Life Uganda
Fountain of Life Uganda (FOLU) is a women-led, community-based organization founded in December 2012 to address the challenges faced by indigenous women and girls in Otuke District, Uganda. Historically, women and girls in this region have been denied rights, particularly in decision-making, land ownership, education, and protection from gender-based violence.
Under the leadership of Ms. Molly Bella Akello, FOLU has partnered with organizations like UNDP, World Bank, and FIMI to secure funding for poverty reduction, women's land rights, and protection from gender-based violence.
