Resume
Det er et kæmpestort problem at så mange piger dropper ud af skolen i Uganda. Mange bliver gravide p.g.a. sexuelle overgreb, tidlige tvangsægteskaber eller simpel uvidenhed, andre dropper ud p.g.a. tidlige forsørgerpligter, fordi drengenes skolegang prioriteres osv., og disse piger lever stigmatiserede liv på kanten af samfundet. Dette pilotprojekt vil i løbet af de første 2 år hjælpe 100 piger, enten tilbage i skolen eller give dem en håndvæksmæssig uddannelse, som sætter dem i stand til at forsørge sig selv og deres børn, så de genvinder bevidsthed om eget værd og respekt fra samfundet. Dette kan kun ske med opbakning fra politiske, kulturelle og religiøse ledere, fra skole, familie, mænd og drenge i området. Derfor er en vigtig del af projektet oplysning og awareness building i de udvalgte communities.
