Retain Orphan Girl Children in Schools in Uganda

Summary

This is a progress report for the quarter on Retain Orphan Girl Children in Schools in Uganda project ended on October 2021 with financial support from the community and donors on GlobalGiving platform. The quarter ended when the organization had not yet secured funding from donors. Currently all school going children are at home with their parents and guardians/caretakers due to lock down for 2 years and facing numerous challenges.

Achievement

1. Procured 600 sanitary pads and distributed to 200 orphan girls at home
2. Procured 200 face masks for 200 girls
3. Procured vegetable seeds for 25 orphan girl caretakers

Challenges

1. We are experiencing inadequate funding for this project and limited support was provided to orphan girl children in the quarter.
2. Orphans girl children are at home and are exposed to a lot of vulnerability ie child marriages and early pregnancies due to lock down
3. Our orphan girl children are now fully engaged in domestic work without access to any reading material

Recommendations:

KADO submits a request to all development partners to extend their helping hand to the projects. In addition, we request GlobalGiving to link KADO the external partners that can support fundraising to support the overwhelming number of orphan girl children
