WHAT WE DO: Headliner

Girl Up Initiative Uganda aims to educate and build the autonomy of girls, women, and youth through our holistic education, economic empowerment, and youth engagement programs in the slums of Kampala, Uganda. 
 
We believe that investing in and uplifting youth—especially girls and young women— is the solution to our world's complex issues.
