Girls Level Up Campaign!

Continuing on to secondary school remains a challenge for many Ugandan girls – only 21% transition successfully.

Yet, those who graduate from secondary school in Uganda earn 16.7 percent more than peers who complete primary alone.

During the pandemic, thousands of girls were married off early, and 370,000+ became pregnant while out of school. Many girls still remain at home and are unable to pay school fees because families are struggling in the midst of a slowly recovering economy.

In addition, a third of 10-14 year aged girls and a third of 15-17 year aged girls miss school due to lack of pads.

This is why we have launched the “Girls Level Up” campaign in an effort to support 200 girls to transition to secondary school!

“Being provided with scholastic materials and feminine supplies was a miracle to me last term. My parents are struggling to pay my fees, so they have had to send me to school with no books.” 

Meet Kusozobi!

Kusozobi is an orphan who received a scholarship last year. She was so excited to wear a school uniform for the first time! Before receiving the scholarship, she would often be sent home from school for late fees. This time she was able to study without distraction, and she ranked 5th in her class for her promotional exams!
