East Africa Women’s League

The East Africa Women's League (EAWL) was founded in 1917 by a group of European women living in British East Africa. The League's original purpose was to promote the rights of European women in the colony. However, over time, the League's focus broadened to include all women in East Africa.

In the early years, the League worked to improve the lives of women through education and training programs. The League also lobbied the government for better healthcare and social services for women. In the 1950s, the League played a leading role in the fight for independence from Britain.

Since independence, the League has continued to work to improve the lives of women in East Africa. The League's programs and services now focus on a wide range of issues, including education, health, economic empowerment, and human rights.

EAW provides a variety of programs and services to women and girls in East Africa. These programs and services include:

• Education: EAW provides scholarships to girls who want to attend school. The organization also offers training programs for women in a variety of fields, including business, agriculture, and health.

• Advocacy and policy work: EAW advocates for the rights of women and girls at the local, national, and international levels. The organization also works to influence policy that affects the lives of women and girls.
