Summary:

KADO expresses appreciation to all partners and donors supporting the Retention of Orphan Girl Children in Schools in Uganda Project. This quarterly report (October 2025 – January 2026) highlights efforts to support orphan girl child caretakers with agricultural inputs and provide in-school adolescent orphan girls with scholastic materials and reusable sanitary pads. The team also monitored learners to confirm school attendance for Term One 2026 and plan further support.

Key Achievements

Monitored 16 schools to verify the presence of supported orphans.
Confirmed that Term One 2026 began on 10th February, though not all learners had reported back.
Visited 50 orphaned learners in schools.
Of 25 pupils who completed Primary Leaving Examinations:

5 passed in Division One
10 in Division Two
9 in Division Three
1 failed

Senior Four examination results were not yet released.

Challenges

Limited funding to sustain the growing number of supported orphans.
Difficulty meeting school requirements for orphan girls.
Rising number of child mothers in schools without adequate support.
Increased school dropouts due to teenage pregnancies and early marriages.

Recommendations

KADO calls upon all stakeholders to increase support for girls’ education in Uganda, where early pregnancies, child marriages, and school dropout rates remain high.
