Ayee is one of the fortunate students who received a scholarship to continue her education after graduating from Agwata Primary School five years ago. As she explains, "My parents are peasant farmers and their source of income is farming. This program helped me and my parents a lot because without it, I would not have been able to study."
Because of supporters like you, students such as Ayee have been given the opportunity to dream bigger and pursue careers that once seemed impossible. After completing 10th grade in 2024, Ayee enrolled in a nursing and midwifery program and expects to graduate in mid-2027. These intensive vocational programs are not inexpensive—often costing as much as university. Yet in northern Uganda, vocational training frequently provides one of the most reliable pathways to stable employment and financial independence.
In Ayee's case, her original sponsor could only afford to contribute at the primary-school lower funding level. That is where this GlobalGiving project plays a vital role. By helping bridge the funding gap, you are enabling determined young women like Ayee to complete career-focused training and move toward meaningful employment. Without this support, many would face the prospect of returning home with unfinished dreams and few opportunities to earn an income.
Thank you for providing critical support at exactly the right time. Your generosity is helping make vocational education attainable for students whose families cannot afford these costs and whose sponsors are unable to cover the full expense.
A thousand thanks for standing in the gap and helping transform hope into opportunity.
If you know friends or family members who might also be interested in helping girls like Ayee stay in school, we hope you'll share this project report and invite them to join you in making a difference.
