Unite for Girls: A Story of Voices Rising Together
The Unite for Girls Dinner, hosted at Hotel Africana on 10 October 2025, brought together students, parents, teachers, government leaders, and philanthropy actors for an evening dedicated to celebrating, empowering, and protecting the girl child. Curated by Raising Teenagers Uganda and Wezesha Girls Network – Uganda, the gathering was both a celebration of progress and a clear call to action, grounded in the reminder that girls must feel safe, valued, and supported for them to thrive. A standout moment came from two courageous girls from Mt. Olive School Namugongo, who shared the Child Raise Child Project, a student-led initiative showing how even 500 shillings can help another child stay in school. The night also reinforced the power of collective action, with reflections that lasting change is built together, turning the dinner into more than an event, but a shared promise to keep raising voices and widening opportunities for girls.
