BACKGORUND

Uganda just like any other African country is a male-dominated society where majority of the decisions are made by men thus leaving the women behind and Tourism is not an exception. This was one of the factors that led to the start of a club to unite women. The Uganda Women Birders Club started in May 2013 as an initiative to increase the number of women participating in Nature Guiding. The Club has been growing with increasing number of ladies taking part in the trainings as well as increasing support from our partners. Tourism is among the big earners to the economy of Uganda and we would like to participate wholesomely in this drive to make Uganda the most preferred Tourism Destination.
