Summary
Girl Children of 10 - 24 years in Uganda dropout of school due to failure to manage menstrual health hygiene and lack of support like adequate food and school items. As such engage in child marriage, prostitution and are exposed to HIV/AIDS. In Uganda, particularly in Budaka and Kibuku district dropout of orphaned girl children in schools is extremely high despite the existing Universal Primary and Secondary Education in Budaka and Kibuku district. Caregivers lack adequate capacity to provide necessary support like scholastic materials and other basic needs of girl children. The project establishes sustainable income generating projects to caregivers and trains Orphan Girl Children in Menstrual Health Hygiene practices. This is the January – March 2019 project quarterly report. The report captures the progress of the project for the quarter ending 31 March 2019 with financial support from GlobalGiving stakeholders and partners.
Current Status of the Project
The following were done in the last quarter:-
Challenges
KADO is faced with limited funding to support Orphan Girl Children in Menstrual Health Hygiene practices and with materials for making reusable sanitary pads.
Recommendations
KADO recommends that funds be made available to organizations addressing issues Adolescents Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (ASRHR) to improve the literacy levels of girls to enable them become self-reliant and have sustainable livelihood.
