(Uganda Christian University, 2025-11-06) Prize Arineitwe
This study looked into how women's empowerment affected the wellbeing of households in Ryakarimira Town Council Kabale district. Assessing the impact of women's empowerment initiatives on household welfare, investigating the connection between women's empowerment and household welfare, and determining the variables influencing household welfare were the study's particular goals. A combination of descriptive and correlational research designs were used in the study. From a target population of 1265 participants, a sample size of 22 units was chosen using purposive and basic random selection procedures. Data was gathered via interviews and questionnaires. To examine the effects of women's empowerment and the factors influencing household wellbeing, descriptive statistics were used. The findings indicated that the empowerment of women accounted for 42.9% of the disparities in household welfare in Ryakarimira Town Council. The most significant contribution to women's welfare was found to be enhancing their productive capacities, whereas the main factor affecting household welfare was found to be access to microcredit. The study found a positive and strong correlation between women's empowerment and household welfare. It was recommended that Ryakarimira Town Council groups that address the legal issues of women work to eliminate the obstacles that keep them from taking part in welfare programs. In addition, women's health organizations should promote women's participation in town council health decision-making and enhance health education.
