Meet Our Founder

Anne Okwera

Founder

For Anne Okwera, community has always come first. With over a decade in HR in Uganda’s telecom sector, she found her true purpose in development, helping others overcome barriers and grow. This drove her to co-found Light Empowerment Foundation, supporting vulnerable children with school fees and materials. Relocating to the UK in 2020, she launched Light Empowerment CIC to reduce isolation, create opportunities, and empower all ages to thrive. Blending professional skill with personal dedication, Anne is committed to ensuring every person is seen, supported, and able to reach their full potential.
