Ongoing projects
GEF is partnering with 7 schools in the Kassanda District. As ongoing support, we provide:
-Parenting classes
-Teacher training
-Efforts to keep girls in schools (menstruation managment, changing our language for different results)
Amani ndio msingi wamaendeleo -This Kiswahili proverb is a little piece of wisdom passed down through our ancestors. Love is the foundation of development. All our work is founded on a platform of love and peace. As we work with parents to eliminate corporal punishment and create warm welcoming homes so children want to stay at home and continue in school rather than getting married young to escape conflict. When parents and children have better relationships with each other it inspires parents and helps us mobilize support. In Uganda, parents must work together to pay for uniforms as well as teacher salaries. Better connections mean parents are excited to invest in the education of their children.
