The Need
In many parts of Uganda, poverty dictates that families prioritize boys' education over girls'. When funds run out, girls are pulled from school, exposing them to risks of early marriage and exploitation.
What We Provide
We provide tuition assistance, scholastic materials (books, pens, uniforms), and ongoing mentorship to ensure girls not only stay in school but thrive academically.
Who It Supports
Primary and secondary school-aged girls at high risk of dropping out due to financial constraints.
How It Works
We partner with local schools to identify vulnerable girls, cover their fees directly, and assign them mentors who monitor their academic progress and well-being.
Program Outcomes
- Increased school retention rates
- Higher academic performance
- Delayed marriage and pregnancy
After my father passed away, my mother couldn't afford school fees. Treasured Vessels stepped in, and today I am completing my secondary education with dreams of becoming a nurse.
