UWEAST

Our Story

United Womens East African Support Team (UWEAST) is a dedicated nonprofit organization based in San Diego, focused on providing essential health services, education, and advocacy for the East African community, particularly women and families. Established in 2008, UWEAST operates the East African Cultural and Community Center in City Heights, where approximately 100 East African women collaborate to address the unique health needs of their community. With a significant grant from the California Wellness Foundation in 2010, UWEAST has successfully implemented culturally competent health interventions that bridge the gap between service providers and the East African community.
