End Early Child Marriage in rural Uganda

Dear Donors and Supporters,

Thank you for your continued support of our End Early Child Marriage in Rural Uganda project. Your generosity is helping communities invest in girls’ education, protection, and long-term success.

During this reporting period, our project focused on strengthening community ownership of girls’ education. Through awareness meetings and dialogue sessions, parents, teachers, and local leaders discussed the importance of investing time, resources, and encouragement in girls’ futures.

Many families expressed a renewed commitment to prioritizing education over early marriage. These positive shifts in attitude are helping create stronger support systems at household level, where girls are encouraged to remain in school and pursue their goals.

Girls participating in mentorship sessions continued to benefit from life-skills training focused on leadership, confidence building, and decision-making. These sessions helped them understand their rights and develop stronger motivation to succeed academically.

Teachers reported improved attendance and increased participation among girls involved in the project. Schools continue to play a central role in identifying vulnerable learners and supporting their educational progress.

Community leaders also strengthened advocacy efforts, promoting child protection messages and encouraging families to support girls’ education. Their leadership is reinforcing positive change within communities.

When communities invest in girls, the entire society benefits. Through your support, we are helping families recognize the value of education and create opportunities for long-term transformation.

Thank you for helping communities invest in girls’ futures.
