Giving Digest: Micro-gifts at checkout are driving a 98% retention rate for girls
Marking 25 years of keeping girls in school, this effort shows how community-powered giving moves the needle: Fraine Supermarket Ntinda has long hosted a donation box that channels customer micro-gifts into sanitary pads for the Education Support Program, and now their new Kira branch has added a second box, widening the circle of care. The result speaks for itself: retention among supported girls has climbed steadily, reaching 98% in 2023. It’s a simple, scalable blueprint for businesses and nonprofits to co-create lasting educational change and an open invitation for more partners to join.
