Educational women empowerment in Uganda

Summary 

Educational women empowerment in Uganda-With the ever increasing population of women in Uganda, women continue to fall victim to circumstance when it comes to education. It is in Uganda that a girl will be chosen to stay at home at the expense of a boy in the event that school fees to take both children to school is not enough.

Additionally, in some Ugandan cultures, girls have no say when it comes to making lifetime decisions like marriage. This has resulted in early marriages, divorce, rampant increase in the spread of HIV/ AIDS, school dropouts, divorce, family neglect, to mention but a few.

All the above mentioned and many more challenges are products of women’s failure to attain the standard education which is why Milele Foundation Uganda believes in educational women empowerment in Uganda and the entire world in general. We believe that having a nation that is made up of educated women is having the most developed nation in the world.

Challenge.

Uganda has had a problem of having women live in a vicious circle of poverty characterized by HIV/AIDS, illiteracy, women being subjected to harsh treatment by their husbands, early marriages, women being married as second wives, etc. This is all attributed to the failure of women to attain relevant education at the right stage of their lives. 

Solution. 

Milele Foundation Uganda offers educational programs to girl children and women of different ages and at different stages of life. We believe that every day is a learning day and things are never out of hand. All that is required is the zeal and the will to get things done.

Milele School of Community is one of our many educational programs that offer women an opportunity to learn quite a number of hands-on activities that can earn them a living.

We have testimonies of women who were at the verge of giving up on life after life proved difficult to them, however, upon participating in our women educational empowerment programs, they are now living their lives to their full potential.
