| Our Partners and Supporters |
FEMRITE is very grateful to all her partners who have contributed to her growth through financial donations. HIVOS (International Humanist Institute for Cooperation in Developing Countries) was FEMRITE's major funder in her first ten years of existence. HIVOS contributed a lot in nurturing FEMRITE and shaping her programmes and activities.
During the same period, there were other partners who supported different programmes;
- African Women Development Fund
- British Council - Uganda
- United States Embassy - Uganda
- German Embassy - Kampala
- Women's WORLDs
- Prince Claus Fund
- Global Fund for Women
- Mama Cash Fund for Women
- Novib Publishing Unit
- Royal Netherlands Embassy
- ABANTU for Development
- SNV - Netherlands Development Organisation
- World Bank - Office of the Publisher, Kampala Office
- Embassy of Ireland
New Partners
In the last three years, FEMRITE has received support from other development partners who have helped to sustain FEMRITE continuity. These are;
- ArtAction
- Africalia
- Integrated Regional Information network (IRIN)
- The Dutch Embassy
- Artwrite Foundation
- Commonwealth Foundation
- African Book Development Association (EABDA) with support of
Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA)
- German Embassy - Kampala
- Goethe Institute South Africa
- Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development/UNICEF
FEMRITE is interested in other development partners who are interested in Arts and Culture specifically women writing projects, in order to work with them to promote women writing in Uganda. There are many stories that women in Uganda need to tell, but they lack the means and the skills to do so.
FEMRITE Supporters
FEMRITE appreciates all the supporters who read her publications. FEMRITE books have appeared as supplementary readers on many schools' reading lists and a number of them are taught in higher institutions of learning under Ugandan literature. Many students have also studied some FEMRITE books for their academic research both at degree and Postgraduate levels.
FEMRITE collaborates with other women organisations, development partners, literary associations, publishers and booksellers, the media, individuals and other relevant agencies to achieve her objectives. FEMRITE is a member of various literary associations such as The National Book Trust of Uganda, The Reading Association of Uganda and The Uganda Publishers Association. In addition, individual members of FEMRITE are members of many other literary bodies.
