Background
Even though Government of Uganda has formulated a number of strategic plans to address the levels of poverty and illiteracy, statistics still show that many Ugandans still live below poverty line due to escalating poor family back grounds, teenage pregnancies and vulnerability of a girl child still hold big gaps in the country. The country score card for Uganda [World Economic Forum 2017] shows that 95.1 females are enrolled in primary education but only 21.3 are enrolled in secondary education and further less, only 4.2 are enrolled in tertiary institutions. This indicates that there’s need for additional support and recognition of looping areas in education to well equip and empower poor families especially the girl child.
