Girls and Women lead in Wakiso, Uganda
In the Wakiso district of Uganda, children under 18 make up 53% of the population. Since 2018, PWRDF has partnered with Action for Rural Women’s Empowerment (ARUWE) on the Girls and Women Lead project to empower young women and adolescents in the region. The third phase of the project – which will run for three years – began this month and aims to reduce rates of teenage pregnancy in Wakiso through education, training and increased access to sexual and reproductive health and rights services.
