The pandemics in Rwenzori region leaves many women, youth and children without caregivers, out of school and in dangers. As poverty deepens, the children and families least able to cope will be hit first and hardest.

Facing a global crisis

Despite huge strides over the last 50 years to increase access to Vocational Education and Health, millions of women and girls in the region are unable to take control of their family size and futures.

The impact of not having access to relevant vocational skills and rights runs deep. It affects people’s opportunities to access education or pursue a career; it affects their health; their food security; and ultimately their ability to lift themselves out of poverty.

As demographics evolve, with population growth and the largest generation of young people in history now becoming sexually active, the need for information and skills is growing at an exponential rate.

However, by investing in our work you can help us provide life-changing skills and health services, empowering millions of women globally hence driving real social and economic development. We need to take strong, collaborative action to get more life-saving services to the people in Rwenzori region.
