MIFUMI Org

MIFUMI is the largest women’s rights agency operating at grassroots level in Uganda, enabling the provision of focused, community based and complete range of support services for survivors of violence and abuse.

MIFUMI has been in existence since 1997 as a locally grown charity in Uganda, originally founded to support health and education of Mifumi village in eastern Uganda, from where the charity derives its name. The work grew organically to tackle the endemic culture of domestic violence, which at the time was not viewed as a serious matter, leading MIFUMI to becoming a pioneering campaigning organization and the only one globally addressing the harmful reality of bride price and polygamy as cultural drivers of violence against women and children.
