About Us

Empowered women and girls can lift their entire families and communities out of poverty.

Amot Girls Foundation (AGF) is a dynamic international non-profit organization with a presence in Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan/Jonglei State, established in 2022. AGF envisions a just and peaceful society where all women and girls enjoy their rights and live in dignity. The organization wholeheartedly tackles the formidable challenges and inequalities faced by girls in these regions, with a strategic focus on five pivotal areas; Health, Education, Sustainable Livelihood, Social Justice, and leadership.

The foundation is dedicated to promoting, protecting, and actualizing women’s and girl’s rights to quality and affordable education, health care, and livelihood opportunities for poverty eradication and empowerment. Since its establishment, AGF has worked to eliminate the gender norms and barriers that perpetuate inequality among inequality, discrimination, and marginalization of women and girls. We aim to see women and girls able to thrive, exploit their potential, have access to equal opportunities, and succeed in every sphere of life.

Our primary goal is to promote access to quality and affordable education, health care services, suitable livelihood opportunities, and better service delivery for women and girls in Eastern Africa. The organization is currently headquartered in (Eldoret) with expanded operations in Uganda and South Sudan.

The impact of AGF on the lives of women and girls in Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan/ Jonglei State has been profound. We have significantly narrowed the gender gap in school enrollment and retention rates, thanks to mentorship and training programs that have empowered women, fostering confidence, leadership skills, and the ability to make informed life decisions.

We aim to shape a future where every girl can reach her full potential and actively contribute to the overall development of society. Together, we can create a more equitable and prosperous world for all.

Our Foundation’s Efforts

Additionally, the foundation has mapped out rescue centers, rehabilitation centers, and institutions such as schools.

The Mapping of Operations Centers agenda was introduced to expand the foundation’s reach and impact.
