Women and Girls Education & Empowerment in Uganda
Organization information
The Angel Projects of America
Location: Yorkville, United States of America
Summary
The women of Uganda are the most undereducated gender for many reasons; one of the catalysts is poverty. Families so poor that the girl is the one removed from school to help at home or to be married off (as young as 11) to alleviate another mouth to feed. Whatever the reason, these women/girls no longer have access to education which then continues a cycle of poverty because they are usually the ones left alone raising children. We want to end this cycle by bringing classes to these villages.
