Support life change to babies born in rural areas

Without an education, girls have fewer opportunities and are more likely to earn less in the future. Girls need an environment where they can be safe to fully reach their potential and to adequately contribute to their communities as adults.

About the project 

Project Goal: To increase the safety of newly displaced women and girls and protection from gender-based violence in remote areas.

The project targeted 273 beneficiaries (190 girls, 83 boys) between 30th January, 2023 and 25th Januaruary 2024.

The solar lamps project was integrated with other projects  Charitable Incorporated Community Organization Uganda is implementing such as Nutrition, and a Shelter project.

The lamps are solar-powered and can be charged with solar energy, this is why they are mostly preferred in the IDPs during the dry or hot season when the beneficiaries can easily recharge them by placing them outside their shelters.

When the beneficiaries move from the shelter areas to places with electricity, they can charge their lamps or use AA batteries. 

The lamps are able to provide lighting at an approximate radius of 5 metres; are long lasting to the tune of 5 years according to the supplier and instructions on use.

Many thanks to you our dear supporters for making girl child lives change because they are now learning. They use the lamp with their families to light the path while using the toilets at night without fear as they can see who is coming from a distance.
