Dear Donors,
Your generosity through Keep Her in School has achieved measurable impact over the past six months. Thanks to you, 158 girls who were on the verge of dropping out have remained in school across 20 partner communities.
Without your support, these girls faced early marriage, household labor, or missing fees and sanitary supplies. Your funding provided scholarships, hygiene kits, tutoring, and family counseling. As a result, 96% of participants maintained regular attendance, compared to 66% among non-participating peers. Additionally, 86% improved their grades.
One inspiring example is Sarah, age 13. After her father lost his job, she was pulled from class to work. With your help, we provided a school stipend and mentorship. Sarah has since returned fulltime and now ranks third in her class.
We also trained 26 community mentors who now identify atrisk girls and intervene early. Despite this progress, 70 more girls are waiting.
Your continued partnership will allow us to reach them. Thank you for keeping her in school.
Sincerely,
F SSIBU MISSION FOUNDATION-UGANDA
