This International Women’s Day, help us break down barriers AND support Girls in Business!
Globally, 2.7 billion women are prevented from choosing the same jobs as men. In Uganda, only 19% of girls finish high school and their options of finding work are limited.
That’s why One Girl has partnered with Action for Rural Women's Empowerment Uganda (ARUWE) to provide young women who are unable to finish high school with a safe place to learn critical skills through the Girls Emerge program. This targeted vocational training helps young women find valuable and sustainable work within their communities– whilst completely shattering the status quo when it comes to women in the workforce.
Training takes place across four identified key and emerging Ugandan markets that are safe, sustainable, and ideal for young women:
- commercial beekeeping,
- clean energy briquettes and cookstoves,
- phone repairs and mobile money and
- baking.
Meet Rachael, one of the Girls Emerge graduates in the phone repairs program…
Thanks to supporters like you, Rachael turned her business dream into a reality and is now able to support herself and her family. She is now a leader in her team at the kiosk and has learnt skills in mobile repairs, is a top seller of mobile phone accessories, has learnt how to balance books, and how to encourage teamwork and collaboration.
This International Women’s Day, we really need your help to support Girls in Business, just like Rachael. Here’s what your donation can provide:
- $30 can provide a start-up fund for one girl
- $80 could buy four mobile phone repair kits
- $200 is enough for a girl to receive vocational and life skills training for one year
- $480 can get 1 girl everything she needs for a beekeeping business - from bees to packaging
- $625 can get 1 girl everything she needs to start a phone repair business - from a microscope to software
- $1,020 can buy 4 beehives for 4 girl-led businesses
THIS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, HELP US BREAK DOWN BARRIERS AND SUPPORT GIRLS IN BUSINESS!
Please donate to help young women like Rachael in Uganda #BreakTheBias - and kick start their business dreams!
A big thank you to our Supporters
The real heroes who are kindly helping us achieve our goal
