Big Sister Camp is piloted as a residential camp for girls that graduated from our Adolescent Girls Program. Last week was a dream for us here at Girl Up Initiative Uganda. We held our 3rd annual Big Sisters Camp—a vibrant space for girls to be free, create, and just be.

We still can’t stop smiling from the vibrant energy at our community drive in celebration of #IDG2021. As a community-driven organization, celebrating with our community members is key to what we do and brings us so much joy. This day has been one for the books! #SheLeadsUg #DayoftheGirl

As the plight of adolescent’s return to school stays uncertain because of COVID 19 in Uganda and the double edge of limited access to digital learning, We started up a Community Classroom Project to provide accelerated learning support to adolescents during school closure, as well as empower them with critical knowledge on self protection, SRHR information, Gender based violence prevention and response. Partnering with 60 teachers we are currently engaging 1200 adolescents as we try to bridge the learning gap and ensure that they stay on track.

Arise Sassy Girls! Beyond the patriarchal narrative, over and above stereotypes, surpass the cultural barriers, reach for the unseen stars and teach them how to shine... Enjoy this amazing poem written by one of our SheLeads Program CSO partners at WARM Hearts.
