Because of you, in 2013 over 100 girls participated in 6 workshops on health and empowerment to equip them with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health!
The girls have begun to learn baking and sewing. Skills which they are eager to share with their peers. They have used drama as a tool to learn about positive role models, HIV/AIDS, and their sexual reproductive health rights. They are finding strong female leaders in their community such as Shanti Uganda's midwives to look up to.
As on of our young inspiring midwives, Stella, says, "I want to talk to women and be an inspiration so women know we all have been in tough times, but we all get there in the end!"
Seeing that Stella has beat the odds and has created her own path in life, one that includes education, independence, and ambition, these girls are learning that no matter where they have come from and no matter what their circumstance, they will "get there in the end."
Please take a moment to watch this video message to learn more about the impact donations just like yours have made in the lives of women and girls in Uganda!
Because of you 2014 will be another AMAZING year!
