Impact in Uganda

We work with Future a Girl to make sure all the young girls and teenage are able to receive education for a better future.

Girls there face several different difficulties that they need to work through:

1) Forced Child Marriage

Many girls there are forcefully made to marry at very young ages by their family. Additionally, several of them are also raped. This leads to the girls having to drop out of school. We work to make sure that the girls still attend school and have access to all of the resources they need and are able to live a good life.

2) Having to Work

Many young girls are forced out of school by their parents so they can contribute financially. We work with families so they see the benefits of having an educated daughter, and try our best to encourage the girls to stay in school. We also host activities at the school to make sure the students enjoy their education and stay motivated.

3) Period Poverty

Many girls cannot afford sanitary products, which is why we supply the girls with them. Our efforts have included buying products for them, as well as trying to put a pad machine in their schools.
