Wheels for Change Update!
We’ve raised just over 20% toward a new bus for Kathy’s Kindergarten. But the current one keeps breaking down, leaving kids stranded. A new bus = safer, faster school runs. Campaign is still on—your support matters!

At 16, Eresi left a forced marriage to return to school after hearing a life-changing message from Act4Africa’s peer educator, Julius. Now a mat weaver, student, and mom, she dreams of becoming a nurse to help others like her. Empower girls. Change lives.

From dreamer to doer! At 21, Damali had sewing skills but no capital. Through YCBT and YSLA, she got training, a loan, and support. Now she’s saving, growing her client base, and building a future!
Thanks to Act4Africa and CARE International Uganda.

“I turned my lodge into a poultry house after joining the Role Model Men Programme,” says Tifu. “Ten girls got pregnant and only knew me, not the boys. I regret this. Now I run a business, pay my fees, and teach youth to avoid risky behaviour. We must all be agents of change.”
