Teach a Girl a Skill
Campaign by Shines Children (RCN 1187260)
The Care For Girls project supports 25 girls and young women in Makudui, Mbale District, who are single mothers and have no livelihood. Teaching some of them the skill of hairdressing will enable them to support themselves and their babies.

Story

Learning a skill can be the difference between poverty and hope. Sometimes, even between life and death. Please help some young single mothers to learn the skill ofcake and decorations

, and lift themselves and their children out of poverty.

In Makurdi, a rural village near Mbale in eastern Uganda, if you are pregnant you are expected to find the man and get him to pay. Even if your pregnancy is the result of rape, or you are very young, your family may send you away from home and refuse to support you and your child.

Please support these young women to acquire skills that will enable them to earn a living.

With a skilled teacher, it takes 4 to 5 months to learn the skill of cake and decorations. When the girls are trained, they will join their friends running small businesses out of the Care For Girls Cooperative shop in Makurdi
