This year girls represent 58% of the of the students attending your Nyaka Vocational Secondary School. This includes secondary students as well as vocational students. Most girls in the vocational program, choose to take the garment design class (GDC). In GDC, students learn multiple sewing techniques that they can use to sew and sell items outside of school to bring in extra income. Girls enrolled in secondary classes can learn valuable information like programming, robotics, and coding. Less than 20% of students in Uganda enroll in secondary school. Every girl who attends your school is more likely to find employment after graduation.
Your school has given girls the tools to dominate. Girls in yours schools are able to do amazing things. Like Maritina, who led a team to build an automatic irrigation system. Every day girls are showing up to school ready to change lives, like the team of female students who designed a phone app to help nurses tend to patients in the overcrowded hospitals. These girls are ready to make a difference in other people’s lives because of the difference YOU made in their lives.
You teach girls they can do anything. Thank you!
