With an education AND a skillset – girls can literally achieve anything!

Beyond education, we’re supporting young women and girls to learn critical life and technical skills – so they’re fully equipped to find valuable and sustainable work within their communities.

How do we do this? Through Girls Emerge, our targeted vocational skills training program in safe, girl-friendly spaces in Uganda.

The most exciting part of Girls Emerge? It’s also about helping young women to challenge career pathways in Uganda that are traditionally shaped by gender. PLUS, with more women in the workforce, we’re helping to reduce the gender pay gap AND break generational cycles of poverty. Pretty neat, hey?

BUT. An uncontrollable force (yep, COVID-19) has unfortunately interrupted the roll out of Girls Emerge over the past year, where an already recruited group of young women have been unable to complete their practical skills training, due to COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. They’re currently sitting tight and waiting patiently to get back to developing their skills – and changing their lives.

And we really need your help to make that happen! With your support, we can restart practical lessons, ensuring young women have hard skills that they can take into the working world, breaking down barriers, reducing poverty and smashing gender norms!
