About Us

The intent to serve was deep-rooted, our small steps have now become a movement.

The Women Like Us Foundation, a 501C3 charitable organization, has been active for over ten years delivering projects in Uganda, Kenya, India, Serbia, Costa Rica, and the United States. Our current focus is on the Women Like Us Center in Nakuru, Kenya with a vision to expand the services of the center, and create more such options in other parts of the country.

Gender equality is an important catalyst for social justice, restructuring of human rights for all, and it remains the prime focus of all our initiatives. Our organization is driven with a plan of self-sustenance and productivity. From strategic planning, to fundraising, to watching over the business of the Women Like Us Foundation, we are working to make sure our efforts continue for years to come.
