In Kagera Village, Eastern Uganda, 25 young women gather with us beneath the shade of sugarcane trees to form a community rooted in eco-conscious sisterhood. Kagera is a small rural village shaped by deeply patriarchal cultural and religious traditions, yet slowly we create a feminist space where women can breathe freely, share openly, and begin to heal through yoga, conversation, and collective care.
The women we work with carry diverse life experiences; early marriage, unwilling polygamy, widowhood, and partners lost to incarceration, all realities that often go unaddressed. By centering nature as a source of grounding and renewal, our gatherings provide a sanctuary where healing and empowerment intertwine with the land’s abundance. One woman at a time, we are nurturing the seeds of transformation, reimagining rural Uganda as a flourishing eco-feminist haven.
