The Global Real Women Foundation was founded by Florence Nassali Kayiwa (right). It started as an outreach while as Chairlady and guild representative of Mary Stuart hall at Makerere University in 2004. Florence developed a burden for reaching out to fellow female students from broken family backgrounds and advocating for increased female representation at guild level. She also held leadership positions on the executive committee of the University Christian union and council of Chairpersons.
An African girl raised from a rural humble background in a family of 6 girls, she knows first-hand what it feels like to grow up a girl in rural Africa and honors her father for his dedication to sending them to school through saving money from his little monthly income and even selling personal property. He is the real inspiration behind the Ssali Education Fund project. Florence often states that her father always told her that education was the best tool that he could give her for a better and brighter future. After university, she went on to carry out voluntary education campaigns to girl school dropouts and encouraging girls in her district to go back or remain in school. She took another step together with other former old students and women in Ngogwe sub-county to register REAL women Uganda as a CBO in 2010.
