Mission and Vision

Our Mission

Shared Action Africa (SAA) is a Ugandan, women-led nonprofit organization that works with refugee and host-community women and girls to build by strengthening reproductive health systems, creating pathways for income and supporting women to lead change in their communities. 

Over the next decade, we envision a world where one million women and girls in refugee and host communities exercise agency to lead their families and communities from aid dependency towards self-reliance and resilience.

Our Vision

OUR VALUES

Our values articulate the enduring principles that guide our decision and actions at every level of the organization.

Leadership

We believe in women’s equal participation and leadership in decision-making processes at every level and in every sector to eliminate gender-based poverty

Entrepreneurship & Sustainability

We support women-led solutions that create jobs and scale green business models that are ecological

for land because studies have shown that when women have control over household assets, they invest it in their children, the future generations


Gender Equality

We believe in equal opportunities for all humankind and through expanding economic opportunities for women and the youth, we build a more inclusive community and provide a platform for real change

Innovation

We are committed to nurturing innovation and scaling up evidence-based innovations for sustainable impact through strong local communities, organisations, and effective and efficient programs

Cooperative Governance


We believe in community-led models of business ownership that empower members to be active participants in decision-making that foster cooperation, accountability, shared resources, and scale impact for the common good
