GABA HOPE FOR KIDS
Empowering Vulnerable Children and Mothers in Wakiso District, Uganda

IMPACT REPORT
Theme: Meet The Faces You're Supporting

1. INTRODUCTION
GABA HOPE FOR KIDS is located in Kisigula Village, Wakiso District. Our mission is to ensure vulnerable children stay in school and to empower their mothers and guardians with sustainable livelihoods.

Behind every donation, every shared story and every prayer are real faces full of hope and determination. This report invites you to meet the faces you are supporting.

2. THE FACES YOU'RE SUPPORTING

A. The Children Who Want to Learn
They are boys and girls in primary school who walk long distances to class. Many live with grandmothers or single mothers. They lack books, pens, bags and uniform but they carry big dreams of becoming teachers, nurses, doctors and farmers. Your support keeps them in school.

B. The Girls Protecting Their Dignity
They are teenage girls who once missed school every month due to lack of sanitary pads and menstrual health information. Today, through reusable pads and education, they are confident, in class every day and helping other girls replace shame with dignity.

C. The Mothers Building Resilience
They are mothers and grandmothers learning farming, liquid soap making and tailoring. They rise early to work in small gardens, attend trainings and start small businesses. Their hands are mending clothes, growing food and building a stronger foundation for their children.

3. WHAT YOUR SUPPORT HAS DONE

- Provided scholastic materials including books, pens, bags and uniforms to vulnerable children.
- Provided menstrual health education and reusable sanitary pads to keep girls learning without interruption.
- Trained mothers in climate smart farming, kitchen gardening and provided seeds.
