This project targets improving the lives of 200 girls in Kyangwali village, Uganda, by providing education, nutrition, and healthcare. Addressing barriers like poverty and early marriage, it aims to boost school enrollment and retention rates, empowering girls and fostering long-term community development in this underserved rural area.
In Kyangwali, Uganda, over 40% of girls are out of school due to severe poverty, early marriage, and inadequate healthcare. Only 31% of girls in rural Hoima district complete primary education, and 25% face malnutrition. Additionally, high HIV/AIDS rates and traditional practices hinder their educational and health opportunities. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving school enrollment and retention rates among these vulnerable girls.
This project addresses barriers to education for 200 girls in Kyangwali by providing essential resources: educational materials, nutritious food, and healthcare. By tackling issues like poverty, early marriage, and poor health, it aims to increase school enrollment and retention rates from 30% to 55% by 2026. Comprehensive support empowers girls, improves their well-being, and fosters long-term educational success, ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty and inequality in the community.
In the long term, this project will significantly improve educational attainment and health outcomes for girls in Kyangwali, leading to higher graduation rates and better career prospects. By addressing poverty and cultural barriers, it fosters gender equality and economic growth. Empowered girls will contribute to community development, reduce early marriages, and break the cycle of poverty, creating a more equitable and prosperous future for the entire region.
