This team will take the torch for Goal 5, because they believe gender inequality threatens the lives of women and children.

Team Young Leaders UGGA believe that a girl deserves to finish school and have a bright future just like the male counterparts: “In rural Uganda, people have a mindset that an educated girl does not attracted enough cows as bride price, so they force girls to dropout of school and send them into marriage as early as 9 years. As soon as the girl develops breasts or goes into her periods she is married off immediately.”

Please welcome team players: Namusoke Isabella, Kamusiime Phionah, Nankunda Janet, Gwendoline Ninsiima, Kembabazi Eunia, Nambogo Anita, and Namakula Janet.

YESS Girls Movement!

 
 

This is how the Team will take action for their Goal

  • Educating communities about the importance of educating the girl child.

How will the Team measure its actions, impact, and reach?

  • We will measure the impact of our actions by the number of girls enrolled into school.
