Your Support Creates Life-Changing Moments!
“Joining school is the happiest moment of my life. I’m so grateful that my dream is now on track.” — Catherine, 16.
The Harsh Reality for Many Girls in Kampala
Catherine struggled to return to school after COVID-19. For four years, she worked as a street vendor, facing constant harassment and danger.
Overwhelmed by an attempted assault, she found refuge with a group of women under a tree. It was here that one of our Community Mentors met her, listened to her story and connected her with our program.
Today, Catherine is back in school, pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher.
Childhood should be filled with dreams, laughter and possibilities. Yet for many girls in the slums of Kampala, growing up is often overshadowed by fear, trauma, and a lack of hope.
