 Investing in girls’ education is investing in the future. When girls have access to quality education, entire communities thrive. An educated girl is more likely to: ✅ Earn a sustainable income. ✅Break the cycle of poverty. ✅Contribute to economic growth. Let’s ensure every girl has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can build a brighter tomorrow. Join the movement and make a difference. Take action now at https://lnkd.in/dSvAyRSy! #InvestInGirls #EducationForAll Creative Action Institute

🎨 Art as a Tool for Advocacy Today, the Sauti Ya Dada girls from Kamira Sub-County hosted a community dialogue with parents and local leaders to address the challenges they face in accessing education. Through a beautifully crafted mural, these young advocates highlighted pressing issues such as long distances to schools, poor infrastructure, and lack of food. Their message was clear: it's time for action to make education accessible for all. This initiative, supported by Creative Action Institute demonstrates the power of creativity in driving social change. By empowering girls to voice their concerns and propose solutions, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive future. Let’s champion the cause of education and amplify these voices of change! #GirlsEducation #AdvocacyThroughArt #CreativeAction #SocialImpact #16DaysofActivisim

We are grateful to BarefootLaw for providing legal advice to vulnerable communities and to Mott Foundation for supporting the Haven Project.

We received a generous donation from the Missions Department at St.Luke’s Church Ntinda: 30 mathematical sets and clothes to support our mission of empowering girls in Uganda.

They will help young girls excel academically and provide essential support to meet their daily needs, inspiring confidence and hope for a brighter future. Thank you, St. Luke’s Church Ntinda, for being a part of this transformative journey.

Breaking Barriers, Building a Safer Future  This morning, our Executive Director, Marjorie Sseruwo, joined @SpiritTVUg to shed light on an issue that impacts us all: Gender-Based Violence. As we prepare to commemorate the #16DaysOfActivism, the discussion highlighted a powerful truth—real change starts with collective action. Gender-based violence is not just a social issue; it’s a challenge to human rights, equity, and our shared future. These 16 days are a powerful reminder that awareness sparks change and that collaboration drives solutions.  As leaders, organizations, and individuals, we all have a role to play:   👉 Advocate for safer spaces.   👉 Support survivors with empathy.   👉 Challenge norms that perpetuate violence.  How are you or your organization contributing to the fight against GBV? Let’s use this platform to share ideas, resources, and inspiration that can drive real impact.  Together, we can create a world where safety, dignity, and equality are non-negotiable.   🔗 https://lnkd.in/ejJaHuma #EndGBV #CollaborationForChange #16DaysOfActivism #cgcat25

#Monitoringvisit During the recent joint monitoring, stakeholders visited our Vocational Microsites Project in Kamira Sub-county, seeing firsthand the remarkable progress in the leather and hairdressing classes. They also toured the underground water tank at the Mazzi Resource Centre, a vital source of clean water for the Mazzi community. The visit concluded with a stop at the home of one of the girls enrolled in the Education Support program, witnessing the positive impact this project brings to their lives and families. Together, we're building skills, supporting communities, and transforming futures! #vocationaltraining #CommunitySupport #empoweringgirls
