Keep a Girl in School

Help Vulnerable Girls Stay in School, Stay Safe, and Complete Their Education

Why This Matters

Across rural Uganda, many girls are forced to leave school due to poverty, lack of learning materials, menstrual health challenges, teenage pregnancy, child marriage, and gender-based violence. When a girl drops out of school, her future is often permanently altered—limiting her opportunities.
income potential, and safety.

Our Response

The “Keep a Girl in School” Programme by SORAK Development Agency works directly with vulnerable girls, schools, and communities to remove the barriers that force girls out of education.
We ensure that girls not only enroll in school—but stay, learn, and complete their education with dignity

We provide integrated support including:

School supplies and learning materials
Menstrual hygiene kits and dignity support
