Dear Donors,
Your commitment to Keep Her in School has produced tangible results over the past six months. With your funding, we have prevented 147 girls from dropping out across 16 partner communities—girls who faced early marriage, financial hardship, or lack of basic sanitary supplies.
Direct interventions included school fee assistance, distribution of hygiene kits, after-school tutoring, and weekly mentorship sessions. Among participating girls, attendance rates rose from 66% to 94%, and 88% improved their grades by at least one letter level.
One success is Grace, age 13. After her parents separated, she was forced to stay home and care for younger siblings. Your support enabled us to arrange a family caregiver and return Grace to class. She now leads her school's debate team and aspires to become a lawyer.
We also trained 22 community mentors who actively identify vulnerable girls and intervene before they leave school. Despite this progress, 50 additional girls remain on our waiting list.
Your continued partnership will allow us to reach them. Thank you for keeping her in school.
Sincerely,
F SSIBU MISSION FOUNDATION-UGANDA
