Supporting Vulnerable Girls to Remain in School

By Othieno Gerald | Project Leader

The Girl Child Foundation Uganda provided school uniforms to vulnerable girls as part of a broader effort to reduce school dropout and prevent early child marriage.

In communities where household incomes are limited, families may struggle to afford basic educational requirements. Girls can be particularly vulnerable when these challenges interfere with their schooling.

By providing uniforms, we helped address an immediate need and encouraged girls to continue attending school.

The intervention also provided an opportunity to reinforce messages about the importance of girls’ education with families and community members.

We believe that education strengthens girls’ confidence, expands their opportunities, and helps them envision futures beyond early marriage.

Through donor support, we are working to ensure that poverty does not determine whether a girl gets an education.

Together, we can create lasting opportunities for vulnerable girls and build communities where every girl is encouraged to stay in school.
