About AFEI

Allan's organization, Alpha Female Empowerment Initiative (AFEI), is a Christian-based, non-profit organization founded in Kampala, Uganda in 2012. What began as a small group of social workers, medical professionals, and former street children with a shared calling has grown into a movement to restore dignity and transform the lives of homeless girls, teenage mothers, and children living on the streets. From our first transition home in Kawala, where 12 boys found shelter and five returned to school on full scholarship, we’ve remained steadfast in our mission to break cycles of poverty, exploitation, and homelessness.

​

Over the years, AFEI has reunited 87 children with their families, strengthened households through empowerment programs, and taken bold action against the deeper challenges we’ve encountered—child trafficking, abuse, HIV/AIDS, poverty, and school dropout among girls due to lack of sanitary supplies. Our focus now extends beyond immediate rescue to holistic restoration: rehabilitating homeless girls and teenage mothers while equipping families with vocational training in tailoring, craft making, hairdressing, beading, wooden toy making, and more. By nurturing self-reliance, we help families build sustainable futures and resilient communities.

​

Our mission is deeply personal. Our founder, Allan, once lived the life we now fight to change—facing hunger, violence, and exploitation on the streets. The compassion and resilience born of those experiences, shared by other former street children, became the foundation of AFEI. What began as children calling us their “Uncles” and “Aunties” has grown into a structured, sustainable organization: a beacon of hope, a shelter for healing, and a launching pad for brighter futures. At AFEI, we believe every life matters, and we stand with vulnerable youth and families until hope triumphs over despair.
