ENVISIONING

A future of empowered women

At Girl Power Uganda, we envision a future where women are not just participants but active leaders and drivers of change in in their communities and beyond. To achieve this, we are committed to continuous growth in the following areas:

COMMITMENT TO UNDERSTANDING

We believe in the power of knowledge to create impactful change. To deepen our understanding and improve the effectiveness of our programs, we are focused on:

  1. Research and Pilot Studies: Conducting assessments on the impact of self-made and reusable pads to ensure they effectively address menstrual health challenges without negative effects on beneficiaries. The insights from these studies will be compiled into a comprehensive document, serving as a model for other organizations.
  2. Curriculum Development: Advocating for menstrual health and sexual reproductive health education to be integrated into the national school curriculum, ensuring that these critical topics become part of every student’s learning journey.
  3. Organizing Fundraisers and Outreach Programs: Enhancing community engagement by hosting events such as menstrual camps—weeklong initiatives where children can gain in-depth knowledge, build networks, and become change-makers.

Commitment to Raising Awareness

Addressing the systemic barriers that hinder education and empowerment requires raising awareness on a broader scale. To achieve this, we are:

  1. Building Awareness Platforms: Using technology and multimedia resources to make lessons accessible, engaging, and shareable, amplifying the conversation around menstrual health and education.
  2. Highlighting the Issue of Absenteeism: Advocating for solutions to absenteeism, which currently results in only 24% of Ugandan women receiving an education, by providing resources that keep girls in school and eliminate barriers to learning.

Commitment to Expanding Our Overall Goal

Our vision extends beyond individual programs, aiming for a larger, systemic impact. We are dedicated to:

  1. Growing Our Partnerships: Supporting partner organizations by offering tools and resources to help them apply directly for grants and connect with donors, bridging the gap for groups without access to these opportunities.
  2. Building a Network for Collaboration: Acting as a connector between organizations and individuals with shared goals, we provide a platform that maximizes opportunities by leveraging the expertise of the right partners to achieve collective impact.
  3. Expanding Opportunities: Empowering girls and women to engage in education, sports, and broader community activities without barriers, shaping the future of Uganda by unlocking their full potential.
