About Us.
A community-based organisation working to support young people,
women and families in Northern Uganda.
NEYWODE
Rooted in community.
Focused on what comes next.
The Network for Youth and Women Development, NEYWODE, is a community-based organisation working to support young people, women and families in northern Uganda. We work alongside communities to address practical challenges affecting everyday life, from education and livelihoods to health, hygiene, skills development and environmental action.
Our mission
To help create an environment where people can enjoy full and dignified livelihoods: healthy, peaceful and able to generate an affordable income.
Our vision
A future where young people and women have greater access to knowledge, awareness, health services and economic opportunities, and where communities can live peaceful and empowered lives.
OUR STORY
Where we began
Peace returned. The work of rebuilding remained.
For two decades, conflict and displacement disrupted life across northern Uganda, affecting education, livelihoods and families. When peace returned, many communities were still living with the consequences. In 2022, community members came together to respond. What began as a voluntary initiative became NEYWODE, formally registered in 2024.Today, we continue working alongside communities to create healthier, more stable and more economically secure lives.

WHY WE EXIST
Because rebuilding is about more than rebuilding buildings.
A community’s recovery is shaped by many things: education, skills, health, clean water and opportunities to earn a living.
That’s why NEYWODE works across different areas of community life, helping people address immediate challenges while building stronger foundations for the future.
Our goal is simple: to help create the conditions for communities to move forward.

LOOKING AHEAD
There is still work to do.
The challenges facing young people, women and communities do not have one simple answer. But progress can begin with practical steps.
A skill learned. A girl returning to school. A healthier home. A new source of income.
A young person finding another path. These moments may seem small on their own. Together, they help shape stronger communities.
That’s what we’re working towards.
