AWO International is active in East Africa, providing both humanitarian aid and development cooperation. Since 2019, we have been working with local partner organisations in Uganda. Our work concentrates on food security, climate change adaptation and emergency aid. During acute crises, we also provide humanitarian aid in other East African countries in collaboration with our Solidarity Network partners, Volkshilfe Austria and Solidar Suisse.
