GIVING DIGEST: A Community Builds Safety and Hope for Girls in Kyenjojo

In Nyantungo sub-county, hope has a new roof. The local community came together to raise UGX 120 million and construct a girls’ dormitory at Nyarukoma Secondary School, a life-changing effort aimed at protecting and empowering girls through education.

For years, long distances and unsafe journeys led many girls to drop out or fall victim to exploitation. Now, with a safe place to stay, more girls can continue their education without fear. With support from parents, well-wishers, and alumni, the dormitory stands as a testament to what happens when a community decides its daughters are worth investing in.

This is more than a building, it’s a promise.
To protect. To educate. To uplift.
