The Campaign name is PAD A GIRL and at the beginning of this campaign, we had a lot of challenges which involved mapping out the needy communities especially those that are extremely in need. At Nansana we managed to reach out to over 580 girls from three villages of Nansana East 2A Ward, 2B Ward and Nabweru. At Lambu Island we reached out to two primary schools; Lambu landing site Primary School and Mivule Primary School, we engaged the community itself and altogether we managed to support over 385 young girls. Since the beginning of the campaign to date we have impacted over 1650 young girls and women between 12 to 24 years.
At Kapeeka we engaged over 420 girls and a substantial 65 expectant mothers between the age of 18 and 25 and these were given clothes and mama kits and they also had a chance to talk to the health experts and counselors.
