Secure a Future for Girls and Women in Uganda
Your generosity directly fuels our mission. Every donation goes where it’s needed most—whether it’s funding a girl’s scholarship for education and boarding school, providing maternal health care for mothers and babies, or supporting essential community needs.
Together, we create lasting change and brighter futures for girls and women in Uganda.

Te-Kworo Foundation empowers girls and women in northern Uganda through education, maternal healthcare, and community support. We operate three boarding schools, a maternal and child health clinic, and a soon-to-be-completed maternity hospital, offering education, vocational training, and life-saving healthcare.

Our Story
Alice Achan, Founder and Executive Director of Te-Kworo Foundation, was just 13 when rebels from the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) first terrorised her village in northern Uganda. Forced out of school and on the run, Alice witnessed the devastating impact of war, including the abduction and enslavement of 20,000 children.
After completing her education and social work training, Alice returned home to rehabilitate teenage survivors of captivity. What began under the shade of a kworo tree in 2002 grew into Te-Kworo Foundation, providing education and maternal healthcare to girls and women in war-affected communities.
In 2008, Alice established Pader Girls Academy (now Kworo High School), the first Ugandan secondary school to support child mothers with flexible education and childcare. Today, Te-Kworo Foundation operates three boarding schools, offering education and vocational training to over 4,000 girls and counting.
The Foundation also runs a Medical and Maternal Health Clinic serving over 300,000 people, delivering life-saving maternal care and safe births to women and children in northern Uganda.
