The fund, to be channelled through the National Community of Women Living With AIDS (NACWOLA) and Interact Worldwide, was launched on Friday.
NACWOLA promotes positive living among women living with HIV.
Speaking during the launch at Muyenga, the head of NACWOLA, Apohia Naikoba, said the project focuses on the rights of women living with HIV/AIDS, non-discrimination of those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and rights of orphans and vulnerable children.
She asked organisations and companies not to sack people living with HIV.
In a statement read by Agnes Owiny, project coordinator Annet Biryetega said the four- year project was in Lira, Luweero, Busia, Soroti and Kampala districts.
She said the project focuses on changing practices, policies and laws.
