Since the implementation of the Empower Project in Karangura Sub County, more girls from Kibyo and Mahyoro Primary schools have joined secondary schools. Joy For Children Uganda team is proud to see the less-prevelleged girls in an this area that has for long been known for high cases of child marriage in uganda, wade through all their cultural threats and make it through the primary school cycle successfully.
In 2017 Uganda National Examination Board's Primary Leaving Examination results, seventeen of the supported girls from Kibyo and Mahyoro Primary schools passed and they will be enrolling for secondary education this year. The support offered to them in terms of goats, sanitary pads and scholastic materials contributed to their perseverence to complete the primary cycle.
Our sincere appreciation goes to our donors, the administration of the two participating schools and the political leaders of Karangura Sub county for having enabled us contribute to the success of the campaign towards ending child marriage in Karangura Sub county.
We pledge to reach out to more girls so that they too can keep in school, complete the primary cycle and proceed to other levels until completion.
