Keen on Women
Women in Renewable Energy Uganda
We are Keen on Women
Our Background
The Women in Renewable Energy Association (WREA) Uganda was started in 2018 and registered in 2019 with the aim of increasing women awareness and involvement in
the renewable energy sector. There are generally few technical women groups in the country and none in the renewable energy sector. There was therefore a need to create
a space where other women can be mentored and gain access to opportunities in the sector.
Different kinds of women exist in Uganda in the sector of renewable energies that even as the association we are keen to promote different categories of women- consumers, investors and professionals.
The membership of WREAU is open to students, professionals in the sector as well as women actively working in the sector.
Our Causes
Mentorship
This is one of our most popular services available. It’s made a big difference to the lives of many of the women involved.
Capacity Building
To foster a reduction in the male and female labour force, WREAU actively creates and provides platforms for the members to learn new skills in renewable energy practice and business development.
Decentralisation
We like to encourage involvement of women living in the rural areas as much as possible
Partnerships
Every strong person grows with partners - We work with our partners to get training as well as to offer placement for our mentorship students
Male engagement
We can never experience equality unless we work hand in hand with both genders to close the gaps.
Innovation
We aim to increase and encourage innovation in everything we do- be it design or service delivery
