Project:
• ’Towards zero child marriage’ in south western Uganda ie Rukungiri, Kanugu and central Uganda, Kampala, and Wakiso Districts. Through Human Rights based approaches to safeguard the rights of children, the initiative has come up with a campaign to fight against child marriage. We support children to keep in school because we believe the change we want to see in young people begins with Education. We raise awareness and campaigns in Western, south western and central parts of Uganda. We are on ground in schools, homes, radio stations, gatherings and partnerships. We involve both teachers, men, boys, girls, parents and community leaders to for the best practices.
Child marriage remains one of the silent evils in Uganda today. So silent that many young girls are being married off openly in the hope of securing their financial security.
