It was amazing hearing parents share on the value of girl chil education to their community and the Kabarole District as a whole! Last week, I was blessed to chair two Focussed Group Discussions in Karangura Sub county, Kabarole District where we disscussed matters regarding the impact our project has made in their community.
I am blessed to be part of this discussion. Besides the goat my daughter , I have learnt a lot from the meetings I have been attending...I am now a promoter of Girls' Education in my community because I know the benefits it brings to communities one of the parents submitted. It was a reaction to one of the members' view that girls only need basic education for survival.
It was found out that most parents in Karangura sub county still need support if they are to fully support the campain of promoting girls' education. I take this opportunity to confess that I am going back home better than I came here an hour ago. This has been my first time to attend such a meeting because it has been my wife representing me at most times. I now can see the value of education to our daughters confessed an elderly man.
In addition, parents in Karangura asserted that there are still early marriages in the sub county majorly because of cultural influence and poverty. The parents committed themselves to reach out to more parents and extend the shared message to those that had not got the oportunity to participate in the FGDs.
