When Phoebe Awuco, of Ayala, Uganda, lost her children to #AIDS, she not only stepped in to raise her grandchildren, but also became an advocate within her community. As a community mobilizer and head of the Self Help Women Group Alita Kole, she gives back to others and travels her town by bike, counseling local women on their reproductive health. Her local group is supported by Reproductive Health Uganda, a non-profit organization that provides sexual and reproductive health services. This picture of Phoebe was taken by Getty Images Reportage photographer Jonathan Torgovnik, as part of a collaboration between Getty Images and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to create a photo library showing empowered women in sub-Saharan Africa.
