Our commitment statement to gender is founded on the human rights framework and globally agreed principles including equality, non-discrimination, participation and inclusion. This statement is based on the international and regional standards in particular the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and global standards outlined in the SDGs.

At Mango Fund we believe that gender inclusion and equality is essential to improving the wellbeing of all the entrepreneurs we serve and in helping us achieve inclusive and sustainable development. We believe that all women should live a life free from discrimination with regards to the provision of financial and non-financial services.

How Mango Fund Empowers Women Entrepreneurs

Mango Fund supports the empowerment of women by providing women business owners and leaders with financial and non-financial services. Women entrepreneurs in Uganda continue to face systems and structures that act as obstacles to their full and equal economic and social participation. 

Why We Invest in Women-Led Businesses?
  • Economic Contribution: Women-led enterprises play a vital role in job creation and industry growth across various sectors.
  • Community Impact: Many women entrepreneurs reinvest their earnings into families and local communities, supporting education, healthcare, and social well-being.
  • Innovation and Leadership: Diverse perspectives contribute to creative solutions, helping businesses expand and reach underserved markets.
  • Long-Term Growth: Strengthening these enterprises promotes financial stability, social progress, and economic resilience.

Investing in women-led businesses benefits individuals, communities, and the economy, contributing to sustainable and inclusive development.
