Our Identity.
Who we are, what we stand for, and the values that guide our work across the Sebei Sub-region.
Who We Are
Sabiny Transformation Initiative (STI) was formed to transform communities into strong, united, and influential partners in development. Our main agenda is to promote gender equality and equity, fight for the rights of women and the girl child, eradicate poverty through income boosting and capacity building, promote social justice and tranquility, keep girls in school, and fight early child marriages.
STI was formed after the realization that communities — especially women and girls — were wallowing in poverty and afflicted by injustice, calling not only for collective action but also a strong voice of women and girls to address these deep-rooted challenges occasioned by societal injustices and male chauvinism. STI enjoys a cordial working relationship with district stakeholders, development partners, and the community. We operate across the entire Sebei Sub-region, with offices at Plot 12, Union Building, Kapchorwa Sironko Road.

A Household Name for Rights

Our advocacy efforts have led to the rights of women and girls being respected. STI is a household name in advocacy, women's participation in leadership and governance, women's rights, children's rights, and the economic empowerment of women in the sub-region.
