Who We Are
FUSE Women Initiative is a refugee women-led organization based in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement, Uganda. We believe refugee women are not only people in need of support, but leaders already creating solutions within their communities.
We work to strengthen refugee women-led organizations by connecting them with resources, partnerships, and opportunities, while advocating for systems that recognize, trust, and include their leadership in decision-making.
Our goal is to see refugee women-led organizations grow stronger, become more visible, and have greater influence over the decisions that affect their communities.
Our Approach
We believe lasting change happens when refugee women-led organizations have the resources, relationships, and influence to lead their own solutions.
Our approach focuses on strengthening the systems around these organizations, connecting them to opportunities, building their capacity, and creating spaces where their voices can influence decisions.
We provide unrestricted subgrants and connect refugee women-led organizations with funding opportunities, enabling them to lead and expand their own solutions.
We support organizations to strengthen their governance, financial management, leadership, and internal systems so they can manage resources and sustain their work.
We document learning, share stories, and create platforms that increase the visibility and collective voice of refugee women-led organizations.
We bring refugee women leaders, donors, and development partners together to build trust, strengthen partnerships, and increase refugee women’s influence in decision-making.
Our programs
Through our programs, we invest in refugee women's leadership and girls' education, strengthening their ability to shape their own futures and contribute to their communities.
Reflections
“Refugee leadership is our reality.”
Refugee women are already taking responsibility for the growth and development of their communities. With lived experience, vision, and determination, they continue creating solutions to the challenges around them.
But meaningful change requires more than individual effort. It requires trust, resources, partnerships, and people willing to listen, learn, and walk alongside refugee women as they lead.
Learning Journal
Every month, we reflect on our work alongside refugee women-led organizations, sharing experiences, lessons, challenges, and insights that help us understand what it takes to strengthen locally led change.
Through our Learning Journal, we document what we are learning, celebrate the leadership emerging from communities, and invite others to learn with us.
