Keep her in school

In communities across Eastern Uganda, girls can face social and economic pressures that place their education and future at risk. F SSIBU Mission Foundation is expanding mobile outreach approaches that bring information, dialogue, and protective support closer to girls and families in underserved communities.

Our mobile outreach venues provide opportunities to engage girls, parents, community leaders, and other stakeholders around issues affecting girls’ education, safety, and development. Through these engagements, communities can discuss the risks associated with child marriage, the importance of keeping girls in school, and the responsibilities of adults and community structures in protecting children.

Bringing these activities closer to communities helps reduce barriers that can prevent families and girls from accessing information and support. It also allows our teams to identify concerns that may require further follow-up or referral.

Donor funding is helping fuel this work by supporting community mobilization, educational materials, outreach logistics, and engagement with local stakeholders. Each contribution helps extend the reach of child-protection programming beyond established service points.

As F SSIBU Mission Foundation expands its mobile outreach venues, continued donor support can help us reach more girls and communities, strengthen prevention efforts, and create more opportunities for girls to remain connected to education and protective networks.

A child facing abuse may struggle to concentrate on education, attend school consistently, or feel safe within their own community. F SSIBU Mission Foundation works to provide assistance and protection for children experiencing abuse and other vulnerabilities, helping them remain connected to the schools and educational opportunities they have been supported to access.

Our approach combines identification, follow-up, family engagement, psychosocial support, referrals, and practical assistance according to the needs of each child. By responding to protection concerns, we seek to reduce barriers that could force vulnerable children away from school.

The connection between child protection and education is central to our work. Providing school necessities is important, but children also need safe environments, supportive adults, and appropriate responses when they experience abuse or other serious challenges.

Donor funding has enabled F SSIBU Mission Foundation to strengthen these interventions by supporting beneficiary follow-ups, community outreach, child-support activities, and responses to emerging needs. This support helps us remain engaged with children beyond the initial point of assistance.

With continued donor partnership, we can respond to more protection concerns, strengthen follow-up systems, engage more families, and help more vulnerable children remain safely in school rather than losing their education because of circumstances beyond their control.
