Since the launch of this program, the trust and partnership of our GlobalGiving donors have enabled us to take the fight against child marriage directly into schools and communities.
Through empowered peer teachers, we are creating safe spaces where children can openly discuss the dangers of early marriage, teenage pregnancy, school dropout, and the loss of future opportunities. But we know that lasting change cannot happen in schools alone.
That is why we are engaging parents directly.
We are bringing parents into conversations about the impact of child marriage and encouraging families to protect education, childhood, and the future of their daughters. By working with both children and parents, we are beginning to challenge deeply rooted practices and create stronger support systems around vulnerable girls.
In communities across Eastern Uganda, where some girls face pregnancy and marriage at just 12 or 13 years of age, this work is urgent.
Your support is helping us move beyond awareness to real community engagement and prevention—giving children a voice and empowering parents to become part of the solution.
Thank you for trusting us and walking with these communities. Miracles are happening, lives are being protected, and together, we can reach even more families and help more girls remain in school and build brighter futures.
