SROI 5

Atuhurra founded the Gejja Women Foundation, which supports women by offering education, regenerative agriculture training, business development guidance, and menstrual hygiene workshops to help them build sustainable livelihoods. 
The foundation economically empowers rural women aged 5 to 75 from marginalised backgrounds, including refugees, widows, and orphans. In addition to programming, it operates two production spaces for reusable menstrual hygiene products.

Atuhurra spoke as a Delegate Speaker at the hybrid Summit hosted in 2021 in Munich. Aligned with One Young World's mission of empowering young leaders to create a more just, sustainable, and inclusive world, she and her co-directors “combine [their] stories and past experiences and realise that all have the same passion.”

By 2024, the Gejja Women Foundation provided six girls and 12 adult learners with resources to finish school, 300 farmers with seed loans, 2,000 women with business start-up support, and 60,000 people with menstrual hygiene products or reusable sanitary kits. In total, menstrual hygiene products have been provided to 200,000 people.
