Retain Orphan Girl Children in Schools in Uganda

Summary This is a progress report for the quarter ending January 2021 with financial support from stakeholders and donors. The quarter ended when the organization had not yet secured funding senior four, senior six and university finalist classes resumed. The rest of children are still at home with their parents and guardians. Achievement • Procured 300 face masks and distributed to 150 orphan girls at school • 300 sanitizers of 150 mls each and provided to 300 orphan girl children at school • Procured 600 sanitary pads and distributed to 300 orphan girls at schools • Motored 300 orphan girl children at school to ascertain their learning progress. Challenges: We are experiencing inadequate funding for this project and limited support was provided to orphan girl children in the quarter. The children that have not resumed schooling and staying with their parents and guardians are exposed to a lot of vulnerability such as early sex, defilement, early pregnancies and marriages in the community. This has led to increased child motherhood and infant maternal mortality rate 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.
