Dear Donors,
Thanks to your generous support, the Keep Her in School project has directly enabled 320 at-risk girls in namwendwa to remain enrolled and complete the academic year. Your funding covered school fees, sanitary supplies, uniforms, and mentorship sessions for all participants.
Key outcomes include a 94% attendance rate, a 40% reduction in dropout risk due to pregnancy or financial pressure, and improved academic performance—75% of participants advanced to the next grade level. Weekly mentorship clubs strengthened girls’ confidence and career aspirations.
Challenges remain, including lingering household poverty and distance to secondary schools. However, your investment has proven transformative: every girl kept in school today is a future leader spared from early marriage or child labor.
We request continued partnership to expand this model to 500 more girls next year. Thank you for breaking cycles of poverty, one girl, one classroom at a time.
With deepest gratitude,
F SSIBU MISSION FOUNDATION-UGANDA
