No longer a functioning organization, they paved the way for many more organizations dedicated to women and heart health.

UWOPED’s expressed goal is to transform these women “from hopelessness to a state of productive excellence.” In 2013, African Women and Girls Organization and UWOPED collaborated with Dr. Leslee Goldstein in the USA to evaluate the benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique in the lives of these women. The study measured the effect of the TM practice on self-efficacy (one’s perceived ability to deal with challenges in life, and a critical component of empowerment), perceived stress, and mental and physical quality of life.

The Ideal Girls School (IGS) in Uganda. was created to fill the need for education for girls in Uganda. The Transcendental Meditation program is a core feature of the school—all students learn the TM technique upon entering the school and enjoy twice daily practice at the beginning and end of the school day. Educated women understand how to feed and care for their families, but most Ugandan girls do not even attend secondary school, and even fewer complete their secondary school years or attend a university. Another example of the need for education for girls is in combatting HIV/AIDS in Uganda. Ideal Girls School education gives girls a natural focus on more life-supporting values and is helping to make Ugandan families healthier.
