Nwoya Charity Foundation (NCF) is appealing for funding support to address the urgent and growing crisis of school dropout among adolescent girls in Northern Uganda, particularly those who become child mothers due to early pregnancy, forced marriage, or sexual violence.
Recent statistics from the Ministry of Education and Sports and UNICEF indicate that over 30% of girls in Northern Uganda drop out of school before completing primary education, and a significant portion of them are child mothers. In districts like Nwoya, Amuru, and Gulu, teenage pregnancy rates continue to rise, exacerbated by poverty, limited access to reproductive health education, and weak community protection systems.
NCF seeks to raise $35,000 to implement a 12-month program aimed at reintegrating child mothers into education and empowering at-risk girls with the knowledge and support they need to stay in school. This initiative will:
- Support child mothers with school re-entry bursaries, uniforms, and childcare support
- Establish safe spaces and mentorship clubs in schools and communities
- Provide comprehensive sexuality education and life skills training
- Engage parents, teachers, and local leaders to reduce stigma and promote girls’ rights to education
- Partner with health centers to improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health services
Our goal is to ensure that being a child mother does not mark the end of a girl’s education. With your support, we can give girls in Northern Uganda a second chance at learning, leadership, and a life free from poverty and dependency.
Let us stand together to break the cycle of dropouts, early motherhood, and inequality—one girl at a time.
