Having existed for over 2 decades of steadfast mentoring and inspiring both female and male writers, FEMRITE – Uganda Women Writers Association, has come to terms with the need for its own home as a long term sustainability measure, towards providing suitable room for more activity for writers. Whereas the organisation’s primary target was Ugandan women, the organisation has grown to work with writers globally, contributing to their skilling, visibility and wellbeing.
In growing its agenda to create a safe space to nurture writers, FEMRITE needs a facility in which writing clinics, mental health and wellness, chatroom, mentorship programmes, writing retreats administrative activities, readings, writing appraisals, research and publication, and much more, can be undertaken effectively.
As such, a Writing and Wellness Centre is a critical asset for the sustainability of FEMRITE, not just for its current operations but for the future of the writing legacy in the region.
It is in this regard that we have launched a fundraising drive with the flagship activity of Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, the mountain that inspires strength and unity. We are counting on the kind support of friends, fans, partners and the giving community, to build this centre; one step at a time.
FEMRITE is grateful to all her supporters who make it possible for her to stand strong and to continue contributing to building a vibrant literary sector in the region and supporting different strategies towards building sustainable communities.
