Empowering Girls Through Community-Based Mentorship and Vocational Training in Uganda and Tanzania

This program focuses on supporting girls at the village level in Uganda and Tanzania by establishing peer mentors who guide them throughout their journey. It includes staged activities led by trainers, fostering socialization through games, and providing essential life skills training (e.g., household budgeting) and general job skills training (e.g., workplace behavior). Additionally, vocational training is tailored to local market needs, targeting girls who value financial independence and may face familial alienation or come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
