Education for All
Bridging Gaps in Access & Impact*
*Overview*
Education is a fundamental right, yet barriers persist in Uganda. Gaba HHopefor kids focuses on empowering girls & engaging boys through education, especially in rural areas.
*Key Challenges*
- Limited access to quality schools in rural areas
- Cultural norms affecting girls' retention (e.g., early marriage, domestic duties)
- Resource constraints for teachers & infrastructure
*Gaba Hope's Approach*
- *Community-led school programs*: Co-designing curricula with local leaders, girls & boys
- *Mentorship for girls in STEM*: Pairing girls with women professionals
- *Partnerships*: Collaborating with NGOs, gov't, & corporates for resources
- *Boys' engagement*: Sensitizing boys on gender equality & girls' education
*Impact (2024-2025)*
- *Enrollment*: 30% increase in girls' enrollment in target schools
- *Retention*: 38% of girls completed PLE with improved scores
- *Learning outcomes*: Tailored support boosted girls' STEM performance by 20%
*Recommendations*
- Strengthen community engagement through girl-led & boy-supported clubs
- Scale mentorship models to more districts
- Advocate for policy support on girls' education in Uganda
*Next Steps*
Gaba Hope plans to expand programs to more vulnerable children.
