Education
ASK4Girls Clubs Project, Amuria District — Uganda
Through generous support from Girls Opportunity Alliance, AYADO in consortium with ACESWORLD is helping in addressing various factors that affect girls’ access to education services which include provision of sanitary towels, quality monitoring and capacity building of senior women teachers who shall support mentor girls on reproductive health and hygiene by empowering them to make their own sanitary reusable pads and art and craft skills. This is leading into increased access to quality and sustainable education among girls who have been affected by the impact of COVID 19 and have been in their respective homes since 2019. AYADO is providing psychosocial support to most affected girls with priority to marginalized and most vulnerable girls such as orphans, girls with chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDs and other vulnerable categories.
